Project Description
Nation Rise Wind is a 100 MW wind energy project in North Stormont, Ontario, featuring 33 turbines. TULLOCH provided engineering, geomatics, surveying, geospatial, geotechnical, and environmental services across site development and early construction.
Our work included LiDAR and aerial mapping, legal and topographic surveys, civil and turbine foundation design, geotechnical investigations, construction layout, as-built surveys, and environmental monitoring. TULLOCH also supported the Early Works construction package, including clearing limits, substation works, access, foundations, and grading before major construction advanced.
Scope of Services
- Civil design of access roads and turbine sites
- Wind turbine foundation design
- Site grading design
- Geotechnical and soil investigations
- Engineering base plan development
- LiDAR, aerial imagery, and orthoimagery collection
- Topographic feature identification and planimetric mapping
- Legal boundary retracement
- Buried utilities investigation
- High-precision construction layout and as-built surveys
- Environmental monitoring during Early Works
- Layout of tree clearing and trimming limits across the project site
- Survey layout for early substation construction and access road
- Layout of substation piles, footings, gantry, and foundation grades

Sharp Hills Wind
In 2018, TULLOCH Engineering was retained by EDP Renewables to conduct geotechnical site investigations for the proposed Sharp Hills Wind Project in Consort, AB. The purpose of the geotechnical investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions for wind turbine foundations and associated infrastructure, including a substation, O&M building, laydown areas and access roads. The site investigations were implemented to provide design and construction recommendations for shallow and deep foundations, low volume roads and installation of overhead and underground collection and transmission cables.
