Foundations for wind turbines are a major construction activity. It takes around 14 hours to complete just one foundation pour and a crew of almost 50 people working around the clock to pour 1000 cubic metres of concrete. Watch the video for more details.
Each year during construction, Wambo Wind Farm provides funding of up to $200,000 to support local community groups and organisations make a meaningful, long-term impact in our local communities. We support projects that make our local communities even better places to live, work and play.
