Since July 2017, Encorus Group has been proud to play a role in the development of the Arkwright Summit Wind Farm in Chautauqua County, New York. Our team has been providing a range of construction materials testing and inspection services to support the project, including bearing grade approval, concrete field testing, rebar inspection, in-place density testing, grout testing, and subgrade evaluation.
One of the key tests performed onsite was the dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) test, conducted by Encorus employee Evan Kolber. This test was used to assess the strength and compaction of the subgrade for new roadways throughout the site, helping to ensure stable and reliable foundations for the turbine installations.
When completed, the Arkwright Wind Farm will have an installed capacity of 78.4 megawatts—enough to power approximately 33,000 average New York State homes with clean, renewable energy each year.
Encorus Group is excited to see the project come to life and proud to contribute to a more sustainable energy future through our work on this milestone renewable energy development.
