Site construction manager Martin Hewitt looks on as 6 months of construction comes to an end with the delivery of the final turbine blade for the Scout Moor Wind Farm project.
Construction of the wind turbines began back in November 2007 at Turbine No 16.
By June 2008 engineers had constructed 26 wind turbine towers and installed 78 turbine blades 450 metres above sea level on Scout Moor amid adverse weather conditions of thick fog, gale force winds, torrential rain, snow and ice during the winter months of 2008.
