This is a construction site Things to keep in mind Long, wide and heavy trucks will be delivering parts and cranes to the site. Cement trucks will be lined up to pour concrete foundations. Equipment will be on the road forklifts, rubber-tire cranes, aerial man lifts, etc. Stay away if ice is present Do not approach the turbine if trucks are present Do not park near work areas Do not contact Underground Collector System Limit deep ripping to no more than 36- inches Do not contact overhead wires Do not contact junction boxes Call before you dig Call if anything seems wrong Goldwind Americas
