RMT finishes Michigan wind farm construction
RMT has wrapped up construction on the largest wind farm in Michigan. Michigan Wind 1 contains 46 wind turbines near Ubly toward the tip of the thumb. That’s enough to produce 69 megawatts of electricity or enough power for 20,000 homes each year. That translates to nearly 124,000 tons of CO2 that won’t go into the atmosphere each year.The project also included building the support infrastructure for the wind farm, such as the substation, collector system, access roads, crane pads and crane paths and tower foundations. This is set amidst rural farmland a few miles from Lake Huron.RMT is based in Madison, Wisc., but also has an office in Ann Arbor. It has taken on projects all across Michigan, including in Detroit.Source RMTWriter: Jon Zemke
