“Reaching New Heights” uses a combination of time-lapse footage, aerial photography and behind-the-scenes action shots to document the steps involved in building MidAmerican Energy’s first concrete wind turbine tower, located at the company’s Adams wind farm in Adams County, Iowa. At 379 feet from ground to hub, the concrete turbine is more than 100 feet taller than its neighboring turbines constructed with steel towers.
There’s nothing quite like walking under a utility-scale wind turbine, climbing to the top, and seeing the view for yourself.
Join us as we climb 288 ladder rungs, travel up 265 feet in the air, and look out of the hub at the view from the top of a wind turbine tower. (From this vantage point, you’ll also be able to see the adjacent manufacturing facility that the turbines power directly.)
Get an up-close view of the turbine parts we keep in stock, like the 142-foot-long wind turbine blades, the 100,000-pound turbine generators, and the wind turbine nacelles waiting in the construction laydown yard for their next assignment.
Your virtual wind farm tour is hosted by One Energy Head of Regulatory Affairs Katie Treadway, Head of Construction Chelsea Bumb, and Construction Technicians Justin Bruns and Kerry Gaines
