RMT Energy, a renewable energy engineering, procurement and construction contractor, was recently tapped to aid in building a large wind turbine facility in Madison, Wis. Not only is the company responsible for the turbines themselves, but it must also construct the roads, crane paths and foundations necessary to ensure everything runs smoothly.
"We are pleased to be able to continue growing our relationship with First Wind, while bringing clean energy to the northwest," said RMT President David Kutcher. "During construction, this project will create more than 150 jobs and result in $30 million of spending with local business. It represents a major investment in the future of Whitman County."
As major metropolitan areas continue to focus on developing renewable energy sources, the need for turbine fields such as this one will inevitably rise. Construction workers interested in landing similar contracts need to ensure that they have the proper equipment in their inventory for such projects. IronPlanet's robust offerings of backhoe loaders, dump trucks and bulldozers can help fill any gaps in a construction firm's fleet.
