More Wind Turbine components arrive at Grouse Mountain

Even more crates arrived at Grouse Mountain today. This time, the huge wooden crates contain the generator, hub and machine carrier (or nacelle) of the project. These components travelled by freighter from Italy. They are going to be kept in a safe place on our mountain top and won’t be opened until a few days before we start construction.

ViewPod Assembly on location at the Wind Turbine site

The crew started unpacking the crates of the ViewPod today and assembling the quadrants. It already looks incredible. A Supervisor from Sigma in France arrived to help guide the assembly. It’s a lot more work than one might think. A small temporary foundation and structural tower was built to elevate the ViewPod as it is being put together. The zip-liners who walk by the site at the end of their circuit are starting to ask questions and it’s great to hear everyone’s support as they learn more about the project. In a few days the main shell of the ViewPod will be done and then it will be time for the finer details. This project is truly starting to take shape.
