Solutions/Onshore Wind Farms
Onshore Wind Farms
In remote, high-altitude, or sloped terrain, every meter of road and every cubic meter of rock excavation impacts the project's IRR.
L.IN.E.A optimizes wind-farm access roads and logistics corridors for cost, slope, and earthworks in early planning.
Networks of access roads
Use Infraspace AI engine to connect pads via a network of roads that respects strict slope limits (e.g. under 10%) for crane transport while minimizing earthworks.
Hardstands optimization
Automatically identify optimal locations for turbine pads by analyzing topography and geotechnical constraints.Determine the optimal hardstand location by optimizing elevation, orientation, and even the geometry of the platform itself.
Wind farm planning FAQ
Access roads, earthworks, and measurable outcomes for onshore wind farm projects.
What measurable results has Infraspace demonstrated?
Infraspace has demonstrated measurable outcomes such as reduced planning time, reduced estimated construction cost, and faster KPI generation.
In one case, estimated access-road construction cost was reduced from 7 MNOK to 3.5 MNOK using Infraspace.
What is mass balance optimization?
Mass balance optimization aims to reduce the surplus or deficit of excavated materials by improving the relationship between cut and fill.
Better mass balance can reduce transport, disposal, imported materials, cost, and CO2 emissions.
What is corridor optimization?
Corridor optimization is the process of finding the most suitable route or corridor for infrastructure such as roads, railways, pipelines, or power lines.
It considers terrain, geometry, environmental constraints, land use, cost, CO2, and constructability.
How can AI reduce planning time?
AI can reduce planning time by automating repetitive analysis, proposal generation, KPI calculations, and comparison workflows.
Instead of manually producing and assessing each alternative, teams can evaluate many proposals in minutes or hours and focus expert time on decision-making.
Which infrastructure types can Infraspace support?
Infraspace can support roads, railways, networks of access roads, power transmission lines and industrial site location studies.
The platform is strongest when several alternatives must be considered and terrain, land take, earthworks, or environmental impact matter.
- Roads and highways
- Railways
- Power transmission lines
- Pipelines
- Wind farm access roads
- Industrial site location studies
What KPIs can Infraspace calculate?
Infraspace can calculate KPIs such as construction cost, CO2, earthworks volumes, mass balance, area usage, land take, viewshed, environmental metrics, affected buildings, biodiversity considerations, and required structures such as bridges and tunnels.
Metric that matters
One wind project team reduced estimated access-road construction costs by 50% (7.9 MNOK → 3.5 MNOK) while validating crane-transport constraints and road geometry in a single day.
