icubed consulting provided the detailed civil and structural design for the Ararat Wind Farm, which comprises 75 Wind Turbine Generators with a combined power output of 240 MW. 34 of the 75 turbines are founded on a smaller concrete structure, that capitalises on the strength and high quality of the insitu rock.
These smaller foundations helped to minimise the site embodied emissions through a reduction in cement and concrete contents. Quality site-sourced rock was used for pavement processing for site access tracks, which significantly reduced the heavy vehicle movements required on the local roads.
