Anyone passing by the turbine site at Ruaig could not fail to have noticed the seemingly never ending activity at the site. The contractors men have been working tirelessly, in all weathers, over the last couple of weeks and the access road and crane pad are nearing completion. The next phase following immediately will be the construction of the turbine foundation base. This is simply a round concrete plinth about 17 metres in diameter upon which the turbine will be erected. After the turbine is erected the foundation and the crane pad will be covered over and tidied up. The TREL Board wish to thank the community for their patience during the transportation of the aggregate to the site. There will be some further movements of heavy vehicles delivering foundation materials but hopefully not to the same degree as before. The works are nowhere near Struthan Cottage. We will keep you advised of how things are progressing.
