Revegetating turbine pads, access roads, and collector lines.
Wind farm construction disturbs land across a wide, often remote footprint. KerTec restores it with native seed mixes matched to the surrounding rangeland.
The Challenge
Wind farms disturb land
differently than a single-site project.
01
Turbine Pad & Access Road Footprint
Each turbine requires a crane pad and
access road, multiplying the number of
disturbed areas across a single project
site.
02
Long, Linear Rights-of-Way
Collector lines and transmission
corridors stretch for miles, requiring
revegetation across varied soil
and terrain conditions.
03
Remote, Rural Terrain
Wind farms are often located far from
population centers, which makes crew
mobilization and site access part of
the planning challenge.
Our Approach
How KerTec supports wind energy projects.
Wind sites typically call for revegetation and erosion control across a large, distributed
footprint:
01
Revegetation
Native seed mixes matched to the region re-establish rangeland cover across turbine pads, access roads, and collector line corridors.
02
Erosion Control
Stabilization of graded pads and roads to prevent runoff before vegetation takes hold.
03
Hydroseeding
Combined seeding and mulching for efficient coverage across long, linear rights-of-way.
04
Vegetation Management
Ongoing mowing and spraying programs to maintain access roads and pad areas throughout the life of the project.
Have a wind farm site that needs revegetation?
The KerTec Difference
Why wind developers work with KerTec.
Experience with large, distributed sites
Restoration plans that account for dozens of turbine pads and miles of access roads within a single project.
Native seed matched to the region
Seed selection informed by nearly a century of combined native seed industry experience.
Crews that mobilize to remote sites
KerTec travels wherever the wind farm is located, coordinating logistics for rural and hard-to-reach areas.
Coordinated across every corridor
One project plan spanning turbine pads, roads, and collector lines instead of piecemeal contracts.
