The company put its stamp of experience and quality on the 47-turbine, 147MW project, which was developed by Red Rocket under government’s REIPPPP initiative, and constructed by EPC contractor Nordex Energy South Africa. Concor successfully completed the civil balance of plant work, including turbine bases spread over a construction footprint of 40 hectares. We also had to adjust the pumping rate when pouring the readymix at the bases,” said the project manager.
