Wind farm access roads face unique maintenance challenges: remote locations, high-load requirements for maintenance equipment, and the need for year-round reliability. Soil Solutions’ EBS Surface Sealed roads dramatically reduce maintenance costs through enhanced durability.
Maintenance Reduction with Soil Solutions:
- Eliminates routine grading and compaction requirements
- No watering needed for dust control
- Prevents erosion and material loss that necessitate resurfacing
- Resistant to rut formation from heavy maintenance vehicles
- Maintains smooth surface quality for 5+ years
Operational Benefits from Soil Solutions:
- Reliable access in all weather conditions ensures maintenance schedules aren’t delayed
- Reduced vehicle wear and tear from smooth surface conditions
- Improved safety for maintenance crews
- Lower insurance and liability costs
Cost Impact: Soil Solutions’ hard, durable road surfaces remain fully protected from the weather-related degradation that plagues traditional gravel roads. This translates to maintenance cost reductions of 70-80% compared to unsealed roads, with savings accumulating throughout the wind farm’s operational lifetime—typically 20-30 years.
Soil Solutions has delivered low-maintenance wind farm infrastructure for operations at the largest wind farm in Africa, Lake Turkana, located in Kenya
