S.W.COLE’s wide breadth of services means that we are able to work on a project at many different stages of its construction. Project owners, especially those whose projects are being built on large tracts of previously undeveloped, environmentally protected land, appreciate working with one firm that can be involved in a project from start to finish. The knowledge that S.W.COLE employees can share with each other at different stages of a project, and the insights gained from that knowledge, is invaluable. There are scarcely any project categories that fit this equation better than the wind energy sector.

Northern New England has seen a large increase in the amount of wind turbines, and these projects have brought power, jobs and tax revenue to the region. Over the last 10 years, S.W.COLE has provided many services, including geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, environmental site assessments, acid rock drainage evaluations, resistivity testing and environmental compliance monitoring, on more than half of the wind farms constructed in northern New England – including almost every project in Maine.

- Stetson I and II (Washington County, Maine)
- Bull Hill (Eastbrook, Maine)
- Oakfield (Oakfield, Maine)
