Appendix A - Preliminary Route Evaluation Study

route evaluation study
for the Black Oak Wind Farm

Project:
Black Oak Wind Farm
Date:
March 22, 2013
edr Project No:
11060
Introduction
On behalf of Black Oak Wind Farm LLC, edr Companies (edr) conducted a route evaluation study for the proposed
Black Oak Wind Farm (the Project), located in the Town of Enfield, Tompkins County, New York. The Project area is
located approximately 7 miles west of the City of Ithaca, 4 miles northwest of the Newfield Hamlet, and 6.4 miles
northeast of the Village of Odessa (as measured to the nearest turbine). The Project will occur on approximately
1,060 acres of private land (owned by 6 individual landowners) in an area roughly bounded by Cayutaville Road to
the south, the Schuyler County line to the west, Weatherby Road to the north, and Connecticut Hill Road to the east.
The northern extent of the Project area is approximately 2.4 miles south of NYS Route 79, and split by Black Oak
Road. Approximately 2.7 miles of gravel access road will be constructed to access the turbine locations. See
Figures 1 and 2 for a regional location map and the Project layout.
Transportation activities during the construction of a wind project will cause temporary increases in truck traffic on
area roadways served by the Project. This study is intended to support the ongoing development of the Project, and
to document the existing transportation conditions in the area and identify probable travel routes, constraints, and
proposed improvements for the oversized transport vehicles.
Methodology
The study methodology was developed to address the needs identified in the scoping document for the Project. A
field inventory, photo documentation, and visual assessment was conducted to evaluate possible travel routes.
Sample roadway characteristics and conditions were documented.
The photo documentation is included as
Appendix A of this report. Research was also conducted on wind turbine transportation requirements, and a potential
worst-case design vehicle was evaluated to identify potential intersection improvements. Correspondence with the
Project Sponsor and representatives from the turbine supplier (REpower Systems) assisted in completion of this

evaluation.
edr was also provided with component specifications and minimum transportation requirement
documentation from REpower, which is included as Appendix B.

The public roadways in the vicinity of the Project were reviewed for width, physical conditions, and surface type.
Each intersection along the construction and delivery routes was reviewed to determine what improvements, if any,
would be required to accommodate delivery and construction traffic. A further and increasingly detailed analysis will
occur closer to construction as part of the overall construction level engineering for the Project. The Project Sponsor
will identify a turbine delivery company who will assess (along with REpower) the proposed route(s) in further detail
and with the necessary level of engineering.
Prior to construction, the hauling company retained to deliver the turbines will identify the final delivery route(s) and
will analyze the routes to obtain a Special Hauling Permit. A Special Hauling Permit is required for vehicles and/or
loads that exceed the legal maximum dimensions or weights specified in Section 385 of the New York State Vehicle
and Traffic Law. Those dimensions and weights include a maximum width of 8 feet 6 inches, maximum height of 13
feet 6 inches, maximum length of single trailer of 53 feet, and maximum weight of one axle of 22,440 pounds. The
dimensions and weights associated with the delivery of turbine components to be used for the Project will exceed
those outlined in the law.
Project Delivery Route
The area in the general vicinity of the Project is served by a network of State, County, and local roadways. These
roads range from two-lane highways with paved shoulders to seasonally maintained, dirt/gravel roads.
edr
conducted a desktop assessment to identify the best delivery routes to each proposed wind turbine location and for
access to the transmission site, and to locate junctions and areas of the route that would require more detailed study.
The desktop analysis was followed-up by a field-based study, conducted by edr staff on October 19th and 20th, 2011
and February 7, 2013. In addition, REpower personnel visited the Project area and assessed the potential delivery
routes during the week of February 10th, 2013. During these field reviews, the potential delivery routes were driven,
March 22, 2013

Page 3
roads were measured, and road conditions were surveyed to identify any areas of concern, as well as bridges,
culverts, and areas of poor road conditions. A further detailed route evaluation study (proposed to be completed by
the selected turbine manufacturer and/or delivery company), road condition survey and pre-construction survey of
roads, bridges and culverts will be completed immediately prior to construction of the Project.
Delivery of turbine components to the Project area will include the following: turbine blades; tower sections; nacelles;
rotors; steel reinforcement; substation transformer; stone and concrete. The most challenging components are the
turbine blades, tower sections and nacelles due to their abnormal size and weight. It has become standard practice
for specialized transportation and delivery companies to have specific trucks for each type of component. It is
anticipated that the deliveries of concrete and steel will be made using different routes along local roads to each
proposed wind turbine site, as these may not qualify as abnormal loads.
Based upon an assessment of the existing conditions, a preliminary delivery route has been identified (by both edr
and REpower) from Interstate 81 to each of the proposed wind tower access roads. Both edr and REpower identified
one route as being preferred over all others analyzed. The preliminary route is from exit 8 off of Interstate 81 (near
Whitney Point) onto NYS Route 79 and through the City of Ithaca, to Black Oak Road (in the Town of Enfield), and
then to the proposed Project area. See Figure 1 for a depiction of the proposed delivery route, and Appendix A for
photo documentation of the roads proposed to be used for component deliveries. Note that this route was selected
during this preliminary review but there are several other possible routes that could be used depending on the port of
entry of the turbine components and the selected delivery company chosen for the Project. The final delivery route
will be provided to Tompkins County and the Town of Enfield for review pursuant to the Road Use Agreements that
will be developed between Black Oak Wind, LLC and the local municipalities.
NYS Route 79 is classified as a NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Special Hauling Permit Route. As
mentioned above, the Special Hauling Permits are required to move vehicles on NYS highways if the vehicles
exceed the legal dimensions or weights specified in Section 385 of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law. NYS Route 79
March 22, 2013

Page 4
has been designated as a highway on which vehicles with these permits can travel, and as such Route 79 regularly
receives truck traffic that exceeds the legal dimensions and weights. The proposed route also does not have any low
bridge clearances or posted weight restrictions anywhere along the route (Sear-Brown, 2002). However, this will be
verified during final engineering for the Project and after the delivery contractor is chosen. Route 79 is an asphalt
road in the entirety of the delivery route, and was in good condition at the time of the field investigations (see
representative photos in Appendix A). No obvious vertical or horizontal curve limitations were observed on Route 79
during the field investigations. However, there were a few locations where it will likely be necessary for escort
vehicles and/or flagmen to navigate the delivery vehicles through constrained roadways in and west of the City of
Ithaca (see Photos 1 through 15). Some relatively steep grades and horizontal curves in the road were observed
west of the City on NYS Route 79 (Hector Street). There were also no obvious problems/limitations with culverts or
bridges observed on the delivery route along Route 79 (see Photos 17 and 18). Further analysis of all bridges and
culverts will occur during the later stages of the transportation planning process.
Black Oak Road is a County Road (County Road 136) located in the Town of Enfield, and is situated in a north/south
manner (south of and perpendicular to NYS Route 79). Black Oak Road essentially splits the Project in half, and all
of the turbines are proposed to use this road for delivery. Black Oak Road is an approximately 21-feet wide asphalt
road with approximately 3 feet of gravel road shoulder on each side (see Appendix A, Photos 21 to 23). Currently it
is anticipated that after turning south (or left) onto Black Oak Road from Route 79, 5 of the proposed 7 turbines will
be delivered from Black Oak Road (via newly constructed access roads). The intersection of NYS Route 79 and
Black Oak Road is generally in good condition (See Figure 3). However, it is possible that the intersection may need
to be widened to accommodate component deliveries. The final limit of intersection impacts may be a combination of
widening on the inside and the outside of the curves. A roadside ditch was observed along the eastern and western
sides of Black Oak Road (see Photos 21 to 23). In addition, overhanging telephone lines and a Stop sign at the
intersection of Black Oak Road and NYS Route 79 were noted and may need to be temporarily moved for delivery of
turbine components (see Photos 20 and 21).
March 22, 2013

As mentioned above, it is anticipated that 5 of the 7 turbines will be delivered directly from Black Oak Road. The
remaining 2 turbines are proposed to be delivered from Connecticut Hill Road. Black Oak Road, south of the
intersection with Connecticut Hill Road, is a Town road. The preliminary delivery route would be to turn south (left)
onto Black Oak Road (from Route 79), and then east (left) onto Connecticut Hill Road (See Figure 4). Connecticut
Hill Road is also a County Road and shares the designation as County Road 136 with Black Oak Road, and is similar
in road width and characteristics (see Appendix A, Photos 30 to 32). Connecticut Hill Road is generally in good
condition and is asphalt with gravel/dirt shoulders on each side. The intersection of Black Oak Road and Connecticut
Hill Road would likely need to be temporarily widened for turbine component deliveries as well. The final limit of
intersection impacts may be a combination of widening on the inside and the outside of the curves. There is a small
roadside ditch at the southeast corner that appears to be a non-jurisdictional waterway, and a street sign and a stop
sign at the northeast corner that would likely need to be temporarily removed. In addition, low overhanging telephone
lines may need to be temporarily raised for delivery of turbine components. Buried and pole-mounted utilities are
located off the road at the western side of the intersection. See Appendix A, Photos 24 to 32 for representative
photos of this intersection and Connecticut Hill Road.
Potential Impacts
The route described above has some potentially constraining features, particularly intersection turning radii. A
summary of the route constraints and associated impacts necessary to accommodate Project construction are
identified in Table 1 below.
The extent of the roadway segment impacts will be verified with the turbine
supplier/contractor prior to Project construction, and coordinated with the relevant State, County, and local highway
departments (at no expense to these departments) prior to the arrival of OS/OW vehicle on-site. However, at this
time it is estimated that intersections of public roads will need to be modified to accommodate for temporary access,
with a minimum of 150 feet outside turning radius and a maximum 130 feet inside turning radius. The following
construction activities will likely be required at the locations of road width and turning radii constraints:

After further investigation of the ditch located along the eastern side of Black Oak Road, it appears that the ditch is
likely non-jurisdictional and therefore work within this ditch will not require authorization by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps). The overhanging telephone lines and Stop sign at the intersection of Black Oak Road/NYS
Route 79 and Black Oak Road/Connecticut Hill Road may need to be temporarily removed or raised to accommodate
delivery of Project components. The buried utilities on the west side of the Black Oak Road/Connecticut Hill Road
intersection should be taken into account during the engineering design phase for component deliveries.

As indicated above, the Project-specific impacts are not anticipated to result in stream or wetland impacts. Any cut
and fill required for construction activities would comply with the measures set forth in the Final SWPPP developed
during the engineering phase of Project design.
Conclusions
The purpose of this assessment is to determine the probable travel routes and potential construction activities
required for delivery of major wind turbine components during the construction of the Black Oak Wind Farm Project
for the purpose of determining potential environmental impacts. Two potentially impacted intersections have been
identified. Several areas with narrow roads/slightly constraining curves were also identified. A transportation
provider experienced with oversized loads will be engaged in the final route assessment and permit process.
Confirmation of impacts, construction details, traffic control plans, escort vehicles, scheduling, etc. is recommended
and will be required for permit approvals.

1 General
1.1
Introduction
The present specifications of the transportation paths and crane pads are a binding
agreement between the parties regarding the precise design of these assembly
sections. Both parties accept this agreement as a contractual component.
The precise implementation of the requirements/dimensions determined in these
specifications ensures that the installation of the wind turbine can take place safely
and at the cost agreed to in the contract. Non-compliance can lead to higher expenses
and costs; in especially severe cases, it may even affect occupational health and
safety during the installation.
As a result, the following is agreed to:
If the requirements/dimensions determined in these specifications are complied

with, the installation of the system at the cost, qualities and schedule
determined in the con-tract shall be considered as binding.
If the requirements/dimensions determined in these specifications are not

complied with, an installation is generally still possible. It will, however, require
an onsite inspection as well as a project-specific approval.
These specifications define the prerequisites, ambient conditions, equipment and

auxiliary means required for the flawless delivery, storage and installation. Its
compliance ensures a smooth procedure in terms of logistics, construction technology
and occupational health and safety.
REpower recommends taking these specifications into consideration during the
planning of the construction site and/or the construction roads. This often allows ideal
solutions for both sides to be found.
1.2
Planning
With the exception of smaller wind farms on simple terrains or as an expansion of an
existing farm, the planning of the transport tracks and crane pads is of significant
importance for a cost-effective and safe construction site workflow.
Aside from the pure accessibility of the individual locations by the heavy goods
vehicles used, it is essential that the various types of vehicles (e.g. construction
vehicles for the foundation construction, transport vehicles for the wind turbine
components, the customer's site manager's vehicle) ideally work side by side and do
not conflict with each other.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
In addition, it must be ensured that the various transport vehicles for wind turbine
components can move alongside each other on the roads of the construction site and
that the corresponding options for passing and turning are available.
As a result, it is agreed that a final coordination should take place at all construction
sites at the latest 4 weeks prior to beginning work on the transport paths and crane
pads. Information provided regarding required parking spaces, spots for passing,
turning and other special agreements regarding traffic management should be taken
into consideration in the planning, where technically possible.
1.3
Vehicles
The following vehicle types, frequencies and loads are typical for a construction site
and are to be taken into consideration in the planning:
Foundation construction and concrete tower:
a) MM-59 to 100 m:
approx. 45 concrete vehicles as well as various delivery
vehicles for construction steel, tower foundation section,
casings, etc.
b) 3.XM-80/100 m:
up to 80 concrete vehicles as well as various delivery
casings, etc.
c) 3.XM-123/128/143 m:up to 100 concrete vehicles as well as various delivery
casings and prefabricated tower elements, etc.
Mobilization and Demobilization of the main crane:
a) MM-59 up to 100 m: up to approx. 24 vehicles
b) 3.XM-80/100 m:
up to approx. 28 vehicles
c) 3.XM-123/128/143 m:
up to approx. 50 vehicles
Transport vehicles for wind turbine components:
a) MM-59 up to 100 m: approx. 8 - 11 heavy load vehicles
b) 3.XM-80/100 m:
approx. 10-13 heavy load vehicles
c) 3.XM-123/128/143 m:
up to approx. 60 heavy load vehicles
Additional transport will be conducted with vehicles from experts, site managers,
erection teams, e-suppliers, etc.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Maximum length, width and height:

a) The maximum train length amounts to approx. 63 m (blade transport)
b) Clearance profile: min. height = 5.5 m; width = 5.5 m (see fig.1)
Fig.1
Vehicle weights:
a) Max. axle load: approx. 12.5 t
b) Max. individual truck weight: approx. 140.0 t
c) Mobile crane (LG 1750):
approx. 660.0 t
d) Crawler crane (LR 1750): approx. 660.0 t
1.4
Securing Loads
All primary components except tower sections are marked with simple sketches
indicating the main dimensions and the center of gravity.
The exact attachment point and the recommended attachment material are defined in
a separate specification.
The respectively valid legal guidelines of the country through which the goods are
transported have to taken into account when securing loads.
1.5
Cargo handling wind turbine components

Each wind turbine component is a complex system which reacts sensitively to
improper handling. Therefore, the components are to be handled with great care
during all loading and unloading as well as during handling and stowing.
Cleanliness must be ensured when accessing the turbines and/or their components.
Accessing the turbines and/or their components with dirty work wear (clothing, gloves,
shoes, etc.) is not allowed.
During all handling and storage, especially in harbors, it must be ensured that the
turbines remain sealed with the existing protective tarpaulins and/or are resealed if
handling has occurred so that no rain and dirt can penetrate. The equipment is to be
stored in such a manner that it is not unnecessarily soiled by external elements.
The personnel employed in these tasks, such as banks men, longshoremen, storage
personnel etc. must be instructed before unloading or storage. Many components
installed in a WEC respond sensitively to grease, oil, aggressive liquids or mechanical
stress.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Only the lifting equipment approved by REpower Systems may be used. The lifting
equipment must have been tested and approved and must not show any signs of
damage or contamination. The use of chains inside the large components is not allowed under any circumstances.
The loading and hoisting instructions in the respectively valid version must be
complied with for the handling / hoisting of components. All necessary documents of
the respective turbines are available from REpower upon request.
1.6
Packaging and Storage

The packaging must protect the WEC components against the prevalent ambient
conditions during transport and storage.
The equipment is generally prepared for storage for up to approx. 8 weeks at the
factory. In the event of longer storage of the equipment and/or its components and/or
in the event of difficult climatic storage conditions, please consult the manufacturer. All
necessary documents of the respective turbines are available from REpower upon
request.
1.7
Specific information regarding individual turbine components
1.7.1 Tower sections

The tower sections must be sealed with tarpaulins on the flange openings to prevent
the entry of dirt and water. During storage and transport it must be ensured that there
is no direct contact of the tower wall with rough and sharp-edged objects, the ground
and obstacles which might cause damage to the varnish coat.
If tower components are loaded and transported with transport adapters, ensure that
care is taken while docking the transport vehicles to the tower components in order to
avoid damaging the tower flange. Furthermore, ensure that the transport tarpaulins are
firmly tied and sealed so that no dirt and water can penetrate the tower segment
during transport.
The set transport height must be checked and adapted to the respective route
conditions prior to starting the haul. If needed, a second person must act as marshaller
when passing viaducts and narrow passages.
1.7.2 Blades
During storage and transport it must be ensured that there is no direct contact of the
blade surface with rough and sharp-edged objects and obstacles which might cause
damage to the blade and its surface layer.
During road haulage it must be ensured that the blade is sufficiently protected against
all vibrations, e.g. using felt or carpet to protect and support the blade on the truck
loading area.
1.7.3 Hub
For the transport of the rotor hub it must be ensured that all tarps are well attached
and tied. The tarp and the cover of the rotor hub must be present and completely
bolted to avoid "flying off" during the transport and to prevent rain and dirty water from
entering.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
1.7.4 Nacelle
After handling the nacelle must be sealed at the front with a tarpaulin in such way that
neither dirty water nor dust can enter the interior of the nacelle. The hatch in the roof
of the nacelle must be sealed in such way that it cannot come loose due to the
vibrations or the effect of the relative wind during transport. When unloading the
nacelle it must also be observed that the nacelle must only be entered with shoe
covers and clean working gloves. The nacelle roof must be fully closed and secured
after each handling.
1.7.5 Particularities of the 3.2M/3.4M
Nacelle hood
The nacelle hood of the 3 XM is disassembled for transport and is transported on a
different vehicle. The hood is to be placed on squared timber if stored at the
construction site so that it is not soiled or damaged due to contact with the ground.
Drive train
The drive train may only be transported on the provided transport cradles. It is packed
in shrink wrap to protect it from soiling. The foil must be inspected for damages before
storage.
Accessories
The accessories of the turbines will be transported in 40 foot "open top" containers. In
the event of long storage periods, ensure that no rainwater collects on the top cover.
The tarpaulin can also be propped up from below to ensure that the rainwater will
drain.
A packing list of the respective turbines is available from REpower upon request.
2 Transport
2.1
Public roads
The following applies to public roads:
The precise routing and scheduled delivery date are only confirmed after a heavy
haul-age transport approval has been obtained and the escorting police have issued
an escort confirmation. That means that traffic provisions (dismantling, bridging of
traffic is-lands, lamps, traffic signs, guard rails etc.) may be required on short notice.
Traffic pro-visions could lead to additional costs and must be planned in a timely
manner to avoid delays in the planned delivery.
In bad weather (ice, snow, fog) transport delays may occur, because heavy haulage
transports are subject to the same authority restrictions and regulations as hazardous
goods transports. During abnormal road conditions a continuation of the journey will
be prohibited.
There may also be unpredictable delays to the delivery due to increased traffic on
public roads and bottlenecks during the approval process by the respective authorities
and the police.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
2.2
Parking on public roads

The following generally applies:
The heavy haulage transport authorization incl. police escort ends at the construction
site entrance, i.e. when leaving the public and usable roads. The transport journey to
and from the construction site via public roads is de-fined by the legislator in the form
of prescribed routes.
Parking the hauls in public traffic areas in front of the construction site entrance is only
possible in individual and authorized exceptional cases, i.e. sufficient parking space
and adequate passing and turning facilities must be provided within the construction
site for the hauls.
If the vehicles cannot be parked within the construction site, the public traffic area
must be sealed off, which must be applied for by the responsible contractual party at
the local authorities prior to starting construction. The approval cannot be forced.
The parking space must be adequately secured ("No entry" signs, lighting) to prevent
impeding other road users or exposing them to unexpected danger.
Parking the heavy goods transports in a public traffic area is only possible in
exceptional cases and in coordination with REpower, the haulage company and
the authorities! Other country-specific framework conditions or constraints (outside Germany) must be coordinated and observed by the haulage company
accordingly.
2.3
Construction site access

The construction site access starts at the end of the public roads usable for the hauls.
On all construction roads leading to WEC locations of REpower Systems a 10 km/h
speed limit apply. This is, among other things, to avoid dust and dirt being stirred up
and for reasons of occupational safety.
The transport permits usually applies to both the loaded and unloaded journey, i.e. the
empty hauls leave the construction site via the same route on which they arrived.
If the vehicles cannot turn on the construction site, the construction site entry must be
designed as a positing system, so that the hauls can use the same entrance moving in
and out.
The size of the curve radius in relation to the construction site exit is based on the
length of the longest empty vehicle leaving the construction site. Generally the
transport vehicle for the nacelle or Kesselbruecke of the tower section is the decisive
variable.
There must be no obstacles in the inside and outside of curves on path level. The
dimensions of the curve radiuses specified in the individual drawings must be
observed. The entry and exit positing system to be observed must be constructed in
accordance with the drawing.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
The transfer point of responsibility for road construction changes must be determined
with REpower on a project-specific basis. The basis for this is the feasibility study
created by REpower.
2.4
Construction site roads
2.4.1 Requirement
During the installation and the whole operating time of the WEC it must be ensured
that the WEC can be accessed by cranes and transport vehicles at any time for
service calls or repair work. The roads, paths, bridges etc. must always be designed
and approved for passage by vehicles with an axle load of minimum 12.5 tons.
Agricultural and forest roads may feature ditches or bridges that do not match the
necessary load requirements.
Load reinforcements or a parallel passage via mobile bridges must be possible here.
The following applies in principle:
Width of the drivable surfaces min. 4.5 m.
The drivable width is to be increased in curves. An example of a 90 degree
curve is described in annexes IV and V. In the event of deviating radii, these
are to be adjusted correspondingly.
Lateral gradient of the road with level surface layer max. =2.
If the surface layer is designed as a straight cross fall from the center of the
road to the outer edge, the lateral gradient is max. 3.
The slope angle must be constructed at a ratio of 1:2.
The surface of the construction road must be of a type that does not cause
damage to tires and does not permit any serious road grooves or
saponification.
All layers must be machine compacted in layers. The relevant guidelines for earthwork
apply to all earthworks.
The support layer material must be installed with a proctor density of 100 %. The
compaction quality must be checked using static plate load tests in accordance with
DIN 18134 or the corresponding country specific standard (see section 4). A sufficient
number of supervisory checks must be planned by the contractor with plate load tests
to be carried out on each installed layer (min. 1 static trial per 100 meters path,
additional tests can be designed as dynamic tests, provided that for correlation a
dynamic and static test are always carried out together). At the top edge of the support
layer a modulus of de-formation of Ev2 80 MN/m2 must be achieved. The
compacting ratio must be Ev2: Ev1 2.5.
The accumulation of rainwater on the surface of the path must be prevented by
suitable measures (depressions on the side of the access paths rapidly draining the
water), or by installing drainage alongside the road. The soil layer (sloping, drainage
pipe etc.) must be drained to prevent subsequent softening and thus a reduction in the
load-bearing capacity due to surface water entering.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
2.4.2 Requirements for gradients

The table below indicates the road surface to be used for various gradients.
7 %
Normal design in accordance with chapter 2.4.1
712 %
Bonded top layer; deviations can only be agreed in consultation

with the project manager of REpower.
Bonded top layer, additionally special transport technology
>12 %
Summits or raised heights within the construction roads must be designed in such a
way that they do not exceed 2 or 3.5 % over 50 m of road length, or the road
longitudinal radii (convex or concave) must not be less then 200 meters. If this is not
respected, ground contact of the load may cause severe damage to the components.
The ground clearance of the vehicles must be at least 10 - 15 cm. (see fig. 2 and 3)
Fig.2
Fig.3
Up and down gradients not meeting the above-mentioned values can only be
approved in consultation with the REpower project management/logistics. The
additional costs arising from this, e.g. by reloading components to other transport vehicles, will be invoiced to the contractually responsible parties.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104

Fig.4
Schematic design of the access paths

For construction of roads and crane pads the support layer is constructed in gravel
(with a grain of 0/56 mm grade, see grading curve range in table II, layer thickness
dependent on the sub grade in order to achieve the required EV2
module) on a compacted sand sub grade (approx. 0.05 m) Prior to applying the
support layer the humous top soil must be removed completely and soaked areas in
the soil layer must be stabilized accordingly (see below).
The material for the surface layer (layer thickness 10 cm) must have a maximum grain
size of 32 mm, see grading curve range in table I.
The material must be graded in accordance with the appendices, i.e. there must be
sufficient fine material. Natural gravel is problematic during the wetter seasons,
because it tends to absorb water and saponify. Granite gravel is an exception.
To prevent silting and displacement, a tear-proof fleece of robustness category GRK 3
(required push-through force FP.5 % 2.5 kN; required mass per surface unit mA,
5 % 250 g/m) is required between the foundation (sand) and the support layer
(gravel 0/56).
Dependent on the ground characteristics at the location the values specified may
differ.
If the sub grade conditions are unfavorable it is not possible to achieve the required
modulus of deformation of Ev2 80 MN/m2 on the surface of the support layer at a
layer thickness of 60 cm. The prerequisite is an Ev2 value of the untreated sub grade
of a minimum of 45 MN/m. In this case appropriate improvement measures (raising
the soil layer, stabilizing the ground with hydraulic bonding agents, laying a geogrid
with fleece etc.) must be carried out.
Peat, bog and clay soils must be considered separately; here the permitted soil pressure according to DIN 1054 must be set to 0 MN/sqm. For this reason special
measures must be provided and checked and approved by the soil expert.
The precise design with which the above-mentioned values can be achieved (Ev2


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
80 MN/m2 and Ev2: Ev1 2.5), must therefore already be determined in advance
using test fields. The result must be submitted to REpower prior to the actual
implementation.
Deviations from the above-mentioned specification are only permitted in consultation
with the REpower project manager and eventually a soil expert.
Especially during the construction or delivery phase of the major WEC
components a firm and leveled access path must be available and secured. Potholes, accumulations, roots etc. must be repaired prior to the following
transport. The necessary measures are mutually agreed with the site manager.
If due to unsuitable or poor construction materials in the surface layer of the
construction road damage tires or other vehicle components, damage claims by the
haulage company or crane company may be asserted against the service provider.
The same applies for damage to the major components or delays of the construction
process.
Note: Heavy haulage vehicles are designed for paved roads - they are not off-road
vehicles.
2.4.4 Implementation of the construction site acceptance
If the requirements/dimensions determined in this specification could not be complied
with in whole or in part, an exact, project-specific inspection of the installation location
must take place on site. This will generally be conducted by our specialists from the
construction site management department and/or project logistics.
After a successful on-site inspection, the customer will be provided with a written
statement in a timely manner stating whether and within which framework conditions
an installation can take place. If an on site inspection has been conducted and a
written statement has been submitted, this will replace the general specification
provided here.
2.5
Vehicle delivery and parking facilities

The contractually responsible party must ensure that all components of the wind
turbine can arrive and be parked on the construction site in accordance with the
customs and legal regulations of the country.
Suggestions for parking the vehicles:
Not used assembly areas at the wind farm
Temporary erection of a warehouse/unloading area near the construction site
Temporary erection of a parking strip alongside the access road
In this case "Truck way" and/or "Rola.Trac" plates can be used as sub grade.
A short travel distance of the vehicles from the parking facility to the assembly area of
the WEC and the direct exit option of the unloaded vehicle without obstructing the
arrival of the next component transport should be aimed at to ensure the smooth flow
of materials during assembly.
REpower project management illustrates this in a logistics concept.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
2.6
Offloading activities
The wearing of high-visibility clothing is mandatory on all construction sites of
REpower Systems SE.
Safety helmets, safety boots, protective gloves, protective work wear must be
donned prior to unloading. The instructions of the site manager must be
followed. Violations are punished with the immediate expulsion from the
construction site.
The components are delivered in the direction required by the crane. After unloading,
a turning opportunity near the crane pad or a separate exit route from the construction
site must be available.
Reversing the component transports in loaded condition is only permitted after
consultation with the REpower project manager and the haulage companies involved.
If the assembly area has to be entered in reverse, this is never permitted without
consultation and approval by the freight carrier, the crane company and the REpower
project management/logistics. The resulting additional costs, such as an extension of
the access path by up to 25 m past the assembly area and the foundation must be
borne by the responsible party. (See drawing assembly area MM82/92/100 and
3.2M114/3.4M104).
2.7
Storage facilities
2.7.1 Single turbines / two turbines

It is useful to prepare a storage facility for tower sections, nacelle, rotor hub and
blades near the assembly area to facilitate the intermediate storage of the components
in case of a disrupted delivery and assembly process due to wind etc. Otherwise
unscheduled waiting times and the corresponding transport technology costs might
arise.
2.7.2 Wind farms with more then 2 turbines
If WEC locations in restricted areas do not permit the storage of components near the
assembly areas, an advance delivery and storage area is required.
This allows an advance component delivery and ensures the availability of major
components for its assembly on the construction site.
As example, the storage area for 2 wind turbines of type MM92/100 m HH should be
at least 5000m.
2.8
Global transportation
This manual is base for creating crane pads and access paths in Europe. However,
these must be adjusted to the country-specific elements and requirements. Among
other things, limited axle loads and other dimensions of the transport vehicles must be
taken into account.
In some countries it might be useful and necessary to include the transport technology
in the shipment from Europe. This must therefore be coordinated and a logistics
concept created well in advance (prior to signing the contract).

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
3 Erection of WEC
3.1
Geometric preconditions regarding mobilization of crane technology

For the installation of the WEC, lattice boom or telescopic cranes are used in the
necessary configuration, depending on the available crane technology.
When using lattice boom cranes (e.g. crawler or mobile crane) it must always be
ensured that the crane boom can be placed down in its full length, depending on the
WEC height (up to 143m) and assembled and disassembled with an auxiliary crane.
The assembly and disassembly of the boom can only be carried out in the opposite
axis of the tower and crane slew ring or at a 90 angle to it.
The provided space must be flat and without obstacles. The minimum length of the
area is the rotor blade height +20m, measured from the center of the crane. (see fig.5)
Fig.5 (example of crane configuration. Detailed engineering is required regarding

necessary configuration needed on particular project.)
The assembly and placing of the boom should be planned and carried out parallel to
any other required access measure.
For the assembly / disassembly of the lattice boom two or three parking spaces for the
auxiliary crane must be provided dependent on the crane technology used.
If this is not possible, an access path must be provided parallel to the direction in
which the boom installation is planned. A separate padded road can be used. It must
be ensured that the pads are interconnected and the access path has the necessary
load-bearing capacity.
No obstacles are allowed to be present in a radius of 50 m around the crane. Material
accumulations of any kind within the assembly area must be removed or relocated in
consultation with REpower. (See fig. 6a+b)


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Fig.6a
Fig.6b
(Do not scale. Shown crane configuration and dimensions are indications. Detailed
engineering is required accordingly to final crane configuration on project!)
Note:
Due to limited height according the chosen crane configuration, fit for building
the required hub height, the level difference between crane platform and top of
foundation insert ring, may not exceed the 2.00m! If this requirement is not
possible to followup, due to technical issue, it is needed to get in contact with
the responsible REpower PM. A detailed crane engineering is then required.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104

Narrow-track crawler crane with lattice
boom
(to be agreed project-specifically as
there are special path requirements:
250kN/m, negotiable width > 5.5 m)
The crane actually used is determined by the dimensions of the tower height
plus rotor hub, the nacelle weight of the WEC and the availability of suitable
cranes at the time of assembly.
3.3
Rotor assembly
For the rotor assembly access to an area within a radius of 100 m around the WEC
must be made available and granted for REpower personnel. If this is not possible,
special measures, such as individual blade assembly, must be coordinated with
REpower.
For the pre-assembly of the rotor the height difference in the terrain must not be more
than ~1 m between the support points. This is measured from the location of the rotor
hub frame up to the location of the blade pillow blocks.

3.4
Single blade assembly

If single blade assembly is used, the requirements for the crane pad do not change.
Only the pre-assembly of the rotor and the associated requirements are omitted. The
decision when, how and where single blade assembly is required, is made by
REpower project management. The planned assembly method can be derived from
the logistics and installation design.

3.5
Guidelines for Key Hole (Installations within forested areas)

This chapter is intended as an advisory. It shows a solution for the installation of
turbines within heavily forested areas and the tree felling which is required. It must be
noted that due to many variables each site must be appraised individually with
sufficient site assessments before installation and turbine suitability can be confirmed.
However it is felt that this document will aid our clients and contacts when planning
installation in forestry areas.
Clear felling is required to construct the hard stand and foundation area there after the
rotor star is assembled. The amount of felling required around the blades as indicated
within the cross hatch area and will depend on the length of the blades plus an
addition minimum 5m clearance.
The following two graphics show you an example of the possible positions for the
standard rotor assembly. (fig. 9 and 10)


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Fig.9
Fig.10
The green area show the required space around the blades. Also it is to point out that
we need also the possibility for walking with the tag-lines for keeping the rotor stable.
The length of these lines depends from the hub height of the turbine plus ~25m.
Note: Please be informed that by this kind of lifts the risk is increased compare to a
single-blade-lifting-procedure.

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Due to the fact that this solution is part of a non-compliance according the REpower
site specifications, a project specific site inspection is always necessary. This will
generally be conducted by the specialists from the site management department. After
a successful on-site inspection, the customer will be provided with a written statement
in a timely manner stating whether and within which framework conditions an
installation can take place. REpower will held the opportunity to refuse the proposed
solution, if it appears that there will be an unsafe working situation. The decision of
REpower has then to be respected.
3.6
Access to the WEC for assemblers

A clean, safe and paved access from the crane pad to the WEC must be ensured.
This must be constructed with a width of min. 2 m from material of grain size 0/32.
This instruction corresponds to the specifications of the HSE department of REpower
Systems.
Note: Commuting accidents are the most common cause of longer-term absence from
work for employees.
4 Summary and country specific deviations

4.1

Inspection of up and down gradients
Verification of the stiffness of access paths and crane pads must be tested according
the static plate load test (acc. to DIN 18134) if not otherwise specified in the following
sections:
min. 3 static pressure plate tests per crane pads

min. every 100m construction road one test
crane pads min. Ev2> 100 MN/m
construction roads min. Ev2> 80 MN/m
compaction ratio EV2 / Ev1< 2.5

MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Verification of stability of access paths and crane pads with mathematical verification:
min. 1 stability verification per 10 crane pads (for the most critical situation)
min. 1 stability verification (verification of the bearing stability) for especially
endangered areas e.g. construction roads or crane locations with steep slopes.
The minimum dimensions of the access paths and crane pads are summarized in
tables III, IV, V and the figure 12.
4.2
Static plate load test in accordance to DIN 18134

If not otherwise specified in the following subsections the testing method with the
following requirements does apply:
Measuring the time- and load-dependent settlement behavior under a

standardized pressure plate
Pressure plate diameter = 30 cm
Load application by hydraulic cylinder with a counterweight of min. 7 t
Reduction of the pressure load to a reference pressure near 0 and renewed
load application (2nd cycle)
Holding the respective pressure stages for a defined period of time, duration of
the overall test approx. 20 30 min.
The evaluation of the pressure settlement curves of the first and second cycle
provides the respective Young's modulus Ev1 (cycle 1, first load application)
and Ev2 (cycle 2, repeated load application).
The ratio of Ev2 / Ev1 is a measure for the compression of the tested support
layer. The greater this value, the poorer the compression of the support layer.
The best possible value is 1.
The Young's modulus is the measure for the stiffness (and thus the load-bearing
capacity) of the support layer. The greater the value, the stiffer the support
layer.
The unit of Ev1 and Ev2 is MN/m = MPa
The threshold values are:
4.3
For crane pads Ev2 >= 100 MN/m Ev2 / Ev1 <= 2.5
For construction roads: Ev2 >= 80 MN/m Ev2 / Ev1 <= 2.5
Static plate load test in accordance to BS EN 1997-2:2007 and EN ISO 22476-13

BS1377-9:1990 1 Clause 4.1).
EN ISO 22476-13 is not published at the time of preparation of this specification and so in the short term BS
1377-9:1990 should be used


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104

Evaluation of the value of E PLT in accordance with BS EN 1997-2:2007 Annex K for:
1. Load stages 1-3 (Ev1)
2. Load stages 4-5 (Ev2)


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Determination of the ratio of Ev2/Ev1 2

For crane pads:

poorer the compression of the support layer. The best possible value is 1.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
4.5.1 Site/Access Road Design and Construction

All site and access roads (site roads) must be completed before any wind turbine
component delivery and must be maintained during the construction, installation, and
commissioning period. In addition, road maintenance must be in compliance with the
Service Contract during and after this period. The following requirements apply to any
surface upon which a delivery or similar truck is expected to travel in the process of
delivering all turbine components to the respective turbine pad locations. The
Customer may request changes be made to this specification but these must be

Note: The table above gives an indication regarding technical advantages and
limitation of each crane type. Additional commercial factors such us cranes availability
in the region and cost level of each type of crane should be taken into consideration
Project Specific before selecting the right combination. REpower Project
Management is available to provide support on performing this analysis.
4.5.2 Crane Pad Design and Construction
This section is provided to specify the requirements of the crane pad in the event that
a crane needs to be mobilized to site after installation and commissioning is
completed. It does not address the lay down requirements of the turbine components
and assumes the crane will not be tracked along the site roads.
All stand-alone crane pads must be usable in all weather conditions and comply with
the following requirements:
The crane pad working surface at each wind turbine pad location must have
minimum dimensions of 20 m (65 ft) by 40 m (130 ft).
The crane pad maximum lateral slope may not exceed 2.
The crane pad maximum longitudinal slope may not exceed 1.


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
The crane pad must provide a minimum ground bearing capacity of 240 kN/m2
tested at each corner of the pad. The recommended compaction must be in
compliance with the stamped drawings and calculations.
The crane pad shoulder slopes may not exceed 45 degrees.
All drainage resulting from crane pad construction shall drain to original low
lying locations.
If the main crane has a lattice jib, a trestle area and storage area will be
required to build up the jib. The assist crane will require crane pad to the same
specification as the main crane pad except that the dimensions may be 20 m
(65 ft) by 9 m (30 ft) or per the BOP requirements.
If the main crane has a lattice boom, then a boom construction area will be
required. This must be alongside the crane path with a width of 15 m (50 m)
and length of 140 m (460 ft) adjacent to the crane path.
When a lattice jib is used, the rigging area for the main crane must have a
minimum length equal to the wind turbine hub height plus 20% added to the
length parallel to the site road. The usable width must be a minimum 7 m (23
ft).
4.5.3 Design
One month prior to delivery of any turbine components, the Purchaser shall submit to
REpower the stamped road design with supporting calculations and results of field
tests performed by a third-party testing agency. The Purchaser shall review this
information and provide written confirmation that the site has been prepared in
accordance with this specification. At a minimum, this documentation shall include:
Stamped road design drawings and calculations for road design based on load
requirements specified in this document.

4.5.4 Testing and Inspection

Prior to delivery of turbine installation equipment or components, documentation
regarding the construction and test results of the site preparations must be provided for
quality assurance and proof that the access roads are ready as per this contractual
requirement. The Purchaser may choose to perform the quality assurance test based
on the methods outlined in either Section 4.1 or Section 4.2.
Regardless of which method is used, the Purchaser is responsible for meeting all the
performance requirements and standards set forth in sections 1 through 4 of this
document and tests are required to be conducted under the observation of an
independent professional engineering firm.
For both methods, the following
documentation is to be provided:
Geotechnical investigation reports for the site including exploration logs and
results of laboratory testing conducted to characterize the site soil conditions.
Construction quality control test records including the following test data:

with the FDT test locations alternating between the wheel or track paths,
and for each lift of embankment and aggregate surfacing, as applicable.
For lay-down and storage areas, at least one (1) FDT per ninety square
meters (90m2) for sub-grade and for each lift for embankment and
aggregate surfacing, as applicable.
For crane pads, at least three (3) FDTs in the middle of the pad along its
longitudinal axis and at least one (1) FDT in each corner of the pad for subgrade and for each lift of embankment and aggregate surfacing, as
applicable.
Results of DCP tests on the sub-grade soil to a depth of one (1) meter below the
sub-grade surface, conducted as follows:
a)

For crane pads, a DCP series must be conducted at the back, center and
front of both of the crane tracks corresponding to where the crane will be
positioned during lifts.
For crane paths and other crane operating areas, at least one DCP series
must be conducted per seventy-five (75) meters of length of path with the
test locations alternating between the track paths or per each ninety square
meters (90m2) of surface area.
4.5.6 Proof- and Test-Rolling Method

If the Purchaser chooses the proof and test rolling method, the following additional
documentation must be provided:


MM100/ 3.2M114/ 3.4M104
Results of proof-rolling of roads, crane pads and storage areas for trucks or
wheeled equipment conducted under moisture conditions similar to the moisture
conditions expected when the surface is to be used. The wheel paths and
operation areas must be proof-rolled with at least one pass of the specified
single axle load (not less than fifteen (15) metric tons per axle), or its equivalent
axle load repetitions.
Results of proof-/test-rolling of the driving surface per the load specifications

above immediately after road construction and at least 48 hours prior to any
Turbine Equipment deliveries. This proof-roll test must be performed along the
entire length of the newly constructed road surface with a maximum pass width
of 2.5 meters.
Results of any additionally required proof-/test-rolling. Should conditions at the

site dramatically change, including but not limited to heavy rain (exceeding
thirteen (13) mm), excessive freeze-thaw cycles, or heavy vehicle use not
associated with turbine delivery or installation, the roads must be proof-/testrolled per the load specifications above before commencing or continuing
turbine component deliveries. The proof-/test-rolling must be performed along
the entire length of all involved roads to simulate the delivery vehicle path(s).
In all cases, locations that exhibit rut depths in excess of the specified maximum
rut depth of thirteen (13) mm must be repaired and proof-/test-rolled until
satisfactory performance is obtained.
The Vendor may, at its own expense, observe any road construction, proof/test-rolling and delivery activities associated with the roads being constructed.
Observable rutting, cracking, pumping, or rolling of the compacted sub-grade,
sub-base, or road surface will not be acceptable. The unacceptable areas must
be repaired, proof-/test-rolled before delivery can begin. If any observable
rutting, cracking, pumping, or rolling of the sub-grade, sub-base, or road surface
occurs during Turbine Equipment delivery, the Vendor may request additional
road repair and/or testing.
