i m looking to try and get into wind farm construction?
Asked by gypsycatcher
what kind of skills and qualifications are needed to get into wind farm construction ? i m looking at the actual construction of them on site, any help would be much appreciated as all the firms i've got in contact with so far have been about as much use as one sock

Best Answer:
A wind farm is just like almost any other engineering project .. in fact, as far as most on-site skills are concerned you might as well be building a bridge, tower block or power station .. lots of drivers (earth movers, diggers, pile drivers, cranes etc) lots of managers/supervisors .. (laying out the site, putting in access roads etc) The actual towers, generator 'pods' and blades and are all going to come pre-fabricated, even so I guess there may be some welding involved ... and then there's all the trench digging and pipe laying etc. to wire them all up together .. then I guess there's likley to be some sort of control room etc. so that has to be built ...
