Utility scale wind projects are breathing new life into today’s energy industry. Wind power is gaining recognition as an efficient and affordable source of energy for our country’s escalating energy needs. From budget planning and scheduling to construction management, Shivam Associate, Inc. has the breadth of expertise to serve its customers in every phase of a project. At Shivam Associate, we take a responsible approach to every project, and we’re dedicated to bringing our clients maximum cost savings while minimizing the environmental impact at every stage of our work, from designing and building access roads to erecting wind turbines. Our expertise in project management means that we’re able to complete projects punctually or ahead of time, even in harsh conditions and rugged environments, thanks to skillful scheduling and processes.
A crane that travels 5-meter-wide roads and services heights up to 136 meters! The right equipment can greatly improve project completion timelines and profitability. When we think of installing turbines we think of warm summer days, blue skies, and just a hint of a light breeze. This is a nice thought, but this is not the reality of building wind farms in Canada. Today, the industry needs tough, dedicated, and highly qualified people with exceptional project management skills and the ability to operate year around. Likewise, the industry needs installation equipment that gets the job done today, but is also thinking ahead to get the job done tomorrow. All our equipment was purchased and/or modified with “Artic Service? packages. We have cold weather-rated steel and pre-heaters etc. We are tooled up to work and be as productive as possible during the winter months. What we are talking about here is the fact that Surespan Wind has the ability to work on a project on a 12-month schedule. Most other people in this industry would never even consider more than a 9-month schedule.
The biggest challenge within the wind turbine industry is the fact that turbines are going higher, bigger and heavier. For most other companies this means trying to find solutions within the resources that are currently available. However, with Surespan Wind Energy, the story is very different. When we looked at what cranes and hoisting equipment to purchase, we did not look at today to try and meet the current need, we looked at where the industry was going. We took into account our customers’ needs three, five, and perhaps even ten years ahead and then tooled up to these opportunities.
With the purchase of our two Liebherr LG1750, we have the ability to provide nonstop service not just for today’s turbine installation needs with 85-meter service heights, but for tomorrow’s service heights of 135 meters. This capability combined with our ability to move this crane on service roads just five meters wide is redefining what is possible inside the Canadian wind turbine industry.
