 Energy Transportation Inc. has added one more facet to its extensive list of services with the opening of our rail siding in Casper, Wyoming. Throughout the years, Energy Transportation has utilized rail services to receive equipment and components from almost every aspect of the energy industry. At the ground breaking ceremony,Dan McGlade, President of Energy Transportation, commented on the rail siding.
"We are now able to provide in-house solutions from source to installation, increasing Energy Transportation's ability to be our client's one call service provider," said McGlade.
Whether it's transformers headed to sub-stations, dehydtrators on their way to a refinery, or wind tower components to be stored for next year's project, Energy Transportation can utilize this new facility to better serve our customer base. Jim Orr, Director of Operations of  Energy Transportation said the site offers complete services.
"With many companies in the energy industry moving their products via rail, this site allows us to provide complete services from offload and storage to 'last mile' transportation," said Orr.
The Casper rail siding is located in the CTran rail facility, which contains over 11,000 feet of switch yard track, a site locomotive, and expandable acreage depending upon demand. With the central location of the facility, Energy Transportation is able to provide a turnkey solution to all players in the energy industry.

Kodiak Island Wind Farm
Pillar Mountain Wind Farm located on Kodiak Island, Alaska, is a small project with a big impact on the community. The vision of Kodiak Electric Association is to have 95% of its electricity generated by renewable power by the year 2020. With a hydroelectric plant, three GE 1.5MW towers already installed, and potentially three more in the years to come, they are well on their way to achieving this ambitious goal.
Energy Transportation began transporting our equipment to the port of Seattle, Washington in early April 2009. Working with Samson Tug and Barge, we transported almost two million pounds of equipment to the project on three barges. Tower components arrived on site June 2nd, and mechanical completion was achieved on June 20th with zero punchlist items for all three towers. There were three weather delays, a dented base section, and only one crew to complete all the work. Our team accomplished this working 7 days a week taking advantage of every window the weather would allow. |

Glenrock/Rolling Hills Wind Farm
Energy Transportation was contracted for the complete erection & mechanical completion of 158 GE 1.5MW Turbines. Erection of these towers was carried out on a reclaimed coalmine creating a complex construction site with several restrictions on the impact of the surrounding environment. With special consideration for a construction corridor, which limited the access to the area around each pad location, Energy Transportation completed the job without any notices of impact to the reclaimed site. Energy Transportation completed the project in less than seven months.
Energy Transportation Personnel on the project were 181 millwrights, ironworkers, operators, laborers, safety, quality control and management team members at the height of the construction cycle.
