Whether you are looking to repower wind turbines to make them more productive and efficient, replace them with new equipment, decommission an entire wind farm at end of life or remove components following a destructive act of nature, North Coast Enterprise brings unmatched expertise to your project. We have managed projects of all types and sizes across the United States, so we are well-equipped to support your needs, no matter the scope or challenges.
Repower Wind Turbines
North Coast provides component disassembly, loadout, removal and recycling for WTG repower projects. Our team—a superintendent and as many crew members as needed—collaborates with the installation company to make short work of any wind turbine repower project. Our crews have experience managing dozens of unique projects, involving thousands of wind turbine generators from every major manufacturer.
We provide services including:
- Cutting blades to manageable lengths for shipping
- Loading out components with engineered lift plans
- Transporting scrap materials to processors, where the metal and fiberglass can be recycled
Replace Wind Turbines
Our depth of experience in wind turbine generator replacement support makes North Coast the ideal partner for this type of project. Working closely with the most experienced explosive demolition contractors in the country, we offer:
- Energetic felling
- Component disassembly and removal
- Foundation removal or preservation
- Cleanup
- Metal and fiberglass recycling
Our goal is to help you decommission wind turbines that are outdated to make way for the latest technology in the safest, quickest and most cost-efficient manner.
Wind Turbine End-of-Life Decommissioning
In addition to providing support for replacement and repower projects, North Coast is experienced in the unique service requirements of wind turbine end-of-life decommissioning projects. Our teams can do partial or full foundation removals in accordance with your contractual obligations. In addition to our WTG-specific services—energetic felling, blade cutting, component loadout and removal, metal and fiberglass recycling, etc.—we can remove roads and infrastructure to prepare the site for return to the landowner.
WTG Critical Events
When blades or towers are damaged by thermal events, lightning strikes, other acts of nature or human error, North Coast Enterprise can assist with safe and timely component removal. We can support your team’s plans according to your needs, including performing single-unit felling and removal. During this process, we evaluate the site using drones to complement our visual inspection; then we develop a plan for component removal that limits disruption to the operating site as much as possible. Safety is always our priority, and we present unique solutions to get components to the ground safely and according to budget.
