Road Building Resoures

Prairie Wind Resources can provide quality materials for the roads leading to your wind farm sites. Our network of materials yards give you easy access to the gravel needed to build the construction and maintenance roads for each generator.

Prairie’s white-topping expertise opens additional road-building opportunities for your business. White topping is an attractive and durable alternative for local road improvements that will last years beyond asphalt. White-topped roads can withstand the heavy loads required to move equipment and material to the wind farm site at virtually the same cost as asphalt. These overlays are approved by the Illinois and Indiana Departments of Transportation.

For more information on white-topping, see the IRMCA site here.

The Chicago Tribune has also recently endorsed the use of concrete pavement as a wise community investment. View the article here..
