GRA Networks Ireland supplies wind farm’s communications requirements

GRA Networks Ireland has completed the installation of a meteorological mast at a wind farm in Tievenameenta, County Tyrone.

The wind farm was built by civils contractor Roadbridge in 2015. Following its construction, a 65-metre mast was required on site. GRA Networks Ireland was appointed for this project by Kona, having been contracted for a similar project for the Irish Defence Forces, at a site in Galway. Works at Tievenameenta included:

• movement of tower sections from the storage area to the mast site, by teleporter;
• pre-erection checks to ensure sections are built correctly and line up perfectly;
• erection of the mast using a 100-tonne crane;
• and torqueing of flange plate bolts to specification.
