Wind Farms – We’re Up For It

As Australia transitions to a net zero carbon future, the growth of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro will continue to be developed. Likewise, as more assets come online and contribute to the energy mix, the demand for transmission infrastructure will be of paramount importance in getting renewable power to the people.

Wind energy is a relatively new sector compared to others in construction, and as the industry expands and the number of wind farm projects grows, there is real potential for a shortage of experienced workers and a need for specialised tooling and solutions partner to help ensure developments are and running to their full potential.

At SFI Australia we have the capacity, expertise, specialised tools as well as strategic network reach, to offer end-to-end solutions for both construction and shutdown maintenance phase of wind farms.

Supporting the building and maintenance of wind farms

SFI Australia support the construction and maintenance of wind farms, be it onshore, offshore or at remote locations, we provide the solutions with our strategic reach and specialised tooling.

This includes offering cost certainty and security of supply with zero stockouts – helping you achieve zero downtime. In addition, SFI Australia can offer on-site solutions and a buyback program on consumable industrial supplies, giving you greater reduction in costs by minimising overstock and potential waste – instead turning waste into profits that help your bottom line.

Development phase

Wind-farm development can be a complex process. As a project progresses through the various stages of development, there are many opportunities for mistakes that can seriously affect the overall success of a wind farm. In fact, some of the biggest mistakes in wind development begin in the early stages and can prove difficult to overcome as the project progresses.

SFI support your development, helping you achieve zero downtime and reduce costs wherever possible, helping your project stay on time and in budget. This is achieved by understanding your needs, de-risking the supply chain and ultimately offering certainty.

We are local

SFI Australia are proud supporters of the local communities in which we operate. This includes using local staff where possible and by utilising our strategic reach to impart local knowledge – be that in-house consultants, third parties or via our network of partners. With any development that has the potential to disrupt, SFI works within legal and ethical frameworks and community standards to deliver the best project, helping ensure projects don’t blowout and overrun projected time, we focus on helping our partners achieve zero downtime.

With SFI Australia’s network and ability so strategically mobilise, we provide a solution and guarantee any piece or tooling or equipment when you need it, helping any construction project achieve Zero Downtime.

Helping the transition

Currently, Australia is in transition from a carbon-powered economy to one powered through renewable sources, but the detailed shape of the future of energy is not yet clear. A distributed energy-mix in the economy is desirable, and helps with continued reliability, however, it is renewable energy sources such as wind which can generate electrical power with a low carbon footprint.

Wind farms have many advantages including being cost-effective, clean, renewable, and sustainable.

With an Australian government led target of net-zero carbon to meet by 2050, renewable energy, including wind power, will prove invaluable as we continue phasing out fossil fuels.
