Scottish Power are upgrading their wind farm at Carlnd Cross in mid-Cornwall. The existing turbines are to be replaced with larger and more efficient generators. Turnkey contractor Balfour Beatty appointed Kemp to produce a topographic survey and digital ground model of the 500 acre site to enable their design team to develop the scheme. Quad mounted GPS systems and robotic instruments were employed to provide a quick and accurate turn around for the client. Kemp had been responsible for setting out the original turbine foundations in 1992 following their work setting out the A30 Mitchell & Summercourt By-Pass which includes the Carland Cross roundabout that the wind farm is accessed from.
