The Race is on for Wind Energy

WRITTEN BY

The prospect of clean energy has once again taken center stage in shaping the future of North America’s energy supply. Wind power is growing in popularity across the globe, and now is the time for manufacturers and suppliers to join the race while the industry is building out its supply chain. Soft ground and high winds have resulted in industry companies selecting and contracting only with the most qualified crane companies when  erecting new wind turbine infrastructure and the wind energy construction will have to meet with new standards comparable to the nuclear industry performance and requirements. Gerry Wiebe, Vice President of Business Development at Eagle West Cranes, and Murray Westerberg, Vice President of Eagle West Wind Energy, notes that the industry is becoming refined as each project has become more involved, more sophisticated.
