As one of the top wind turbine installers in Canada, Eagle West Wind Energy is providing high-level service to clients across the country, from British Colombia to Nova Scotia. With 10 office locations in Western Canada, Eagle West Wind Energy has set up shop in London, Ontario, its first Ontario office, to continue its development in the Ontario market and to ensure that local content is incorporated into all of their projects.
Eagle West Wind Energy is one of the five primary divisions of Eagle West Cranes Inc. The company has seen steady growth and at present includes a growing fleet of over 100+ cranes as well as highly experienced wind turbine technicians and project managers.
The wind power is growing across North America and with it comes the need for competent and highly skilled service companies to partner with wind farm developers. Eagle West Wind Energy provides a single solution to their customers’ wind turbine installation needs. By combining their heavy equipment, highly skilled human resources and experienced project management, Eagle West Wind Energy sets the standard for quality wind turbine installations and safety.
Eagle West has over 225 employees and has operated over 150 cranes. In 2010, the company successfully installed 300 MW across Canada, including the Talbot Wind Farm in nearby Ridgetown, Ontario. Eagle West is committed to working together with wind farm owners, developers, contractors and suppliers to find the most economic and efficient solutions for their projects.
Eagle West Wind Energy combines transportation, cranes and hoisting, mechanical installation, electrical installation and post construction service and maintenance into a “Single Vendor Solution.” Their skilled labour force is capable of installing six turbines per week, with just one main erection team. The Eagle West Wind Energy team comprises a comprehensive range of qualified technical staff: safety supervision, quality assurance, project managers, ground crews, millwrights and electricians, installers, riggers, engineers, construction managers and equipment operators.
Eagle West Wind Energy’s dedication to safety and quality, their highly experienced technicians and project staff, their correct cranes and equipment and their professional performance, has earned them two significant projects for 2011. Eagle West Wind Energy has been awarded the 43 turbine, Greenwich Lake Wind Power Project in Thunder Bay, Ontario, by RES Canada, and the 55 turbine, Wintering Hills Wind Power Project in Drumheller, Alberta, by Suncor Energy.
