Wind Turbine Dry Run - Tuesday 20 December 2011
On Tuesday 20 December, RES will be undertaking a wind turbine
dry run for Dunmaglass Wind Farm.
A specialist haulage contractor, Collett, will drive the route
using a specially modified collapsible vehicle. The overall length
of the vehicle will be approximately 50m to imitate a 45m long wind
turbine blade. A police escort will come before and after the
abnormal load to warn other road users, and direct traffic (where
necessary) to enable the vehicle to safely negotiate the route. The
dry run will be filmed from a following vehicle.
The vehicle will leave Inverness Harbour at approximately
9.30am; it will travel along Longman Drive and Stadium Road to the
roundabout junction with the A9 / A82. The vehicle will turn left
to join the A9 and travel southbound to the B851 junction at Daviot
before turning right onto the B851. Once on the B851 the vehicle
will head south-west through Inverarnie, Farr and Croachy to the
site entrance at Dunmaglass Mains. The vehicle is expected to
arrive at the site between 11.00am - 12.30pm.
It is not our intention to cause any traffic hold-ups, we will
do our best to minimise this by taking advice from the police, and
where possible making sure that vehicles travelling in both
directions are given the opportunity to pass safely along the
way.
Please contact Rachel Anderson (RES Community Relations
Manager), who will be accompanying the vehicle, should you have any
questions or require further information - 07795 680 803 rachel.anderson@res-ltd.com
