Wind Energy Development
| 
- Wind Energy Development Although wind energy has been in existence for over 650 years, its emergence into the modern day world and the need for this planet to find alternative methods for energy development we as a nation severely lack in the development of such a powerful tool as the wind. Walnut Creek Consulting Group, intends to bridge the gap between Wind developers, investors, and energy providers.
- Engineering, Design, and Feasibility We at Walnut Creek Consulting Group can do one of two things for our clients. Either design the entire system and perform the feasibility studies, or perform a design review and feasibility review to insure compliance issues have been met and the energy provider can rest assured that they will get the best performance from the installation, and can get a positive return on their investment.
- Wind energy Management Services It is often talked about how critical the management and integration of services are. These services are required to actually put together a service plan that is simple and distinguishable from all the rest in the market place. We do not suggest that we have the exact plan, we do suggest however that we have options, it is this type of management integration that we offer in our service plan.
- Special Services This is often an area of intense conversation between the client and Walnut Creek Consulting, there may be special services required of the client, or wind developer. These options are not considered in procurement of services but come up in the final last minutes. It is these “special service” options that often elude us all in the heat of the development process, let us help solve this problem for you.
- Field Oversight and Operations Walnut Creek Consulting Group offers the finest tracking process, this same process is used in all of the construction management and oversight operations that we encounter. We have one object in mind, and that is to deliver an efficient and well documented productive wind project to our clients.
- Quality Assurance and Control It has been recognized in most businesses’ that Quality is always an issue for some reason this seems to be forgotten early in the planning stages, either there is insufficient time or it just does not matter. We believe the issue of quality is a sign of service to our clients, Walnut Creek Consulting will use the path of quality control to insure your project meets your expectations.
- Construction Risk Analysis In spite of the elusive word “risk” there always seems to be the element of failure, no matter how you fracture the word “risk” it has an immediate negative connation of failure. We are strong believers in reducing the potential of risk, therefore we look for potential risk issues that may impact the project from construction through commissioning. We believe through our management plan and service, we can deliver a project that our clients will be proud of.
- Lease Management Oversight Our leasing consultants evaluate each and every document to insure all legal issues are resolved prior to any start of construction, this further reduces the risk of any project.
- Cost projections-Cost Estimating We at Walnut Creek Consulting Group are leaders in the preparation of cost projections and cost estimating services. This is always an extremely important piece of the puzzle. This one factor alone may cause a project to get scrambled.
- Scheduling Services Walnut Creek Consulting can provide the client with a definitive project schedule, including the activities and timelines from inception through final commissioning. This type of schedule delivery and mobilization plan are often the key ingredient to a successful project.
- Survey and Mapping We have the ability through our consultants to offer the client the best surveying and mapping programs and detail, via the use of the latest technology in the surveying industry. Many of these mapping exercises are done in real time, allowing the client the opportunity to make deviations in alignment without the need to reproduce unneeded documents, thus controlling survey and mapping costs.
- Right Of Way Procurement One of the most crucial issues in the wind energy field is the ability to get access and right of way approvals or associated procurements. These are often required prior to the start of construction but sometimes missed in the process. Again Walnut Creek Consulting Group and its exclusive mobilization and execution plan takes the worry out of this process.
- Systems Commissioning At or near the end of the project the issues of commissioning all the systems becomes apparent, it is time to insure that the systems as designed will perform as required prior to the final hookup on the transmission lines. Walnut Creek Consulting prides itself in the systems commissioning, we want you as our client to call us back as part of your team.
- Data and Document controls Data management and document control is one of the most intensive areas of the wind energy business. We believe it is imperative for us to provide the proper controls for our customer. Using the latest in Fiber Optic technology our Engineers and I.T. professionals work in concert with the Energy Providers to insure a continuous flow of information.
