NW Groundwork have recently returned to the Frodsham wind farm site to conduct a thorough assessment of the existing tracks in anticipation of a crane arriving on site. The visit was crucial to evaluate the current conditions of the access roads and surrounding areas to ensure they are suitable for the heavy machinery that will be deployed.
During our time at the windfarm, we meticulously inspected the roadways leading to the turbine locations, noting any potential obstacles or areas that might require reinforcement or remediation.
After completing the site assessment, we discovered the need to construct a new roadways and an area for parking, vehicle maneuvering, and work activities.
The construction phase involved several steps. First, we cleared the designated area of vegetation and debris, taking care to minimize disruption to the local ecosystem. Next, we graded the land to create a stable foundation for the roadway. This was essential to ensure that the roadway could support the weight of the large equipment that would be used during the turbine installation.
After grading, we laid down a base layer of gravel to provide additional support and improve drainage. This layer was compacted thoroughly to prevent future settling. Following this, we applied a top layer of gravel which was compacted and rolled to withstand heavy loads.
Throughout the construction process, we adhered to strict safety protocols to protect our workers and the surrounding environment. Regular inspections were conducted to ensure that the roadway met all necessary engineering standards and regulations.
The completed work provided a smooth, compact and level series of tracks and working areas.
