Desktop Assessment

Our desktop evaluation looks at all the local constraints, examining the planning, environmental and technical aspects of installing a turbine. Within these constraints an optimum turbine solution is put forward and the system performance is outlined using data on the natural resource at your site. From resource measurement to answering the question of how to get construction and plant equipment to the often remote installation area, we have the skills to cover the range of site specific considerations. Our assessments include:

• Wind speed measurement and analysis
• Wind shadow and turbulence intensity studies
• Energy generation
• Optimised turbine positioning
• Site access for construction and plant equipment

Planning Permission

Wind turbines require planning permission and, depending on the size and location, they require different levels of studies and supporting information. When preparing a wind turbine planning proposal it is essential to follow planning guidance to have the best chance of gaining approval. Where minimums cannot be met then elevated levels of study might be required. This not only increases the overall project cost but also means additional time is required for the studies to be completed. Our expertise helps to smooth out this process and maximise the chance of a positive planning response.

Projects of a certain size require a higher level of health and safety documentation. Our Work Safe Policy means that we always adhere to the necessary standards. Typically small-scale works will be below this threshold, however, there are times when the work time onsite increase above the threshold. We have the in-house capabilities to cover the regulation requirements for all the works which we undertake.

We have the in-house capabilities to cover the regulatory requirements for all the works which we undertake. We also hold all relevant qualifications from the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). If your project needs sign-off on any of these regulatory requirements you can employ us to handle just this part alone.

There are a considerable number of tasks and sub-tasks which need to be well organized to ensure a system is installed on time and on budget. Our project plans make sure that tasks are well-managed and highlights what progress is being made, where we are up to and the expected completion date.

Civils and Foundations

We offer bespoke civil installation works for hydro power construction projects and medium scale wind turbine bases. We specialise in cast concrete for locations which present access difficulties. Above or below ground pipeline construction in varying pipe materials – design, installation and jointing offered.

Installation

We have been installing systems for many years and our portfolio of turbine types includes Skystream, Evance, Gaia, Westwind, Endurance, Northernpower and Vestas Wind turbines. At SJ1renewables we organise all aspects of an installation, covering the civil, mechanical, electrical and communication engineering elements. As part of our turnkey offering, our capabilities include:

Maintenance and Servicing

We can be with you every step of the way. This includes comprehensive after care services to ensure you get the most out of your wind turbine system. Contact us today to take the next steps to reducing your carbon footprint and your bills.
