Jones Bros worked on the construction of the largest wind farm project in the UK. 39 turbines were built at Cefn Croes Windfarm, Aberystwyth

We carried out the “Balance of Plant” contract for the developer IGE Energy Services KU Ltd.
It comprised construction of the access roads, the turbine bases, the crane bases and the 33Kv cabling. We were appointed as the Principal Contractor under the CDM regulations and were therefore responsible for the safety of the heavy lifting operations of the tower, turbine and blade erections, and for the complex energy requirements of the 33Kv systems. All these operations were completed successfully with no safety issues occurring.

All the work was carried out in an area of great environmental sensitivity; we employed specialist environmental consultants to assist us in the creation and implementation of an environmental action plan.

Considerable effort was put into measures to prevent any damage to peat and marsh habitats where the construction changed any natural drainage routes.
