RMT, a renewable energy EPC contractor, announced it provided engineering,
procurement, and civil and electrical infrastructure construction for
approximately 1,100 MW of renewable energy during 2011.
By focusing
on building clean energy projects and expanding its service offerings into
different technologies, RMT look forward to growing its renewable portfolio in
2012 and beyond.
“In
2011, we were able to transfer our years of expertise in wind energy into the
solar market, and we have proven our ability to safely deliver high quality
wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects,” said
David Kutcher, president, RMT.
RMT has
provided engineering, procurement, and civil and electrical infrastructure
construction to support the installation of the wind turbines for 13 projects,
ranging in size from 1.5 MW to 150 MW. These projects bring RMT’s total EPC
renewable energy portfolio to over 5,000 MW.
RMT
provided roads, crane paths and pads, turbine foundations, underground
collector systems, in-tower wiring, mechanical turbine completion, tower
erection, and testing and inspections for these facilities.
These
projects were located in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Kansas, Michigan, New
Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, and Washington.
RMT also
completed design and construction of eight utility-scale solar PV projects
totaling 55 MWp during 2011. These projects ranged in capacity from 2 MWp to 20
MWp. RMT designed the site layouts, foundations, DC and AC collector systems,
and SCADA systems, and performed the electrical system studies/designs required
for interconnection to the utilities’ systems.
Recently,
RMT completed
the construction of the Sheffield Wind project in Sheffield, Vermont. RMT
joined First Wind on October 26, 2011, for a community celebration to
commemorate the completion of the 40-MW facility.
