Careys has recently reached two significant health and safety milestones on the Grousemount Wind Farm project. On this project we are responsible for building 38 wind turbines – on rugged terrain, in frequently extreme weather – at a remote site in Cork, Ireland. In addition, we are also tasked with installing the longest 110-kilovolt, underground grid connection in Ireland. When completed, this will link the 120-megawatt Grousemount Wind Farm to the Ballyvouskill 200-kilovolt substation.
