Wind Farm Civil Construction & Turbine Foundations
Langston Construction Company builds the civil and structural scope on utility-scale wind farms: the turbine foundations, crane pads, access roads, and site work. The turbine erection and the electrical are the owner’s EPC and electrical contractor. We build what the turbines stand on.
Wind farm civil work we build
Developers and EPCs hire Langston for the heavy civil a wind farm needs before and around turbine erection: turbine foundations, crane pads, and roads built to the geotech and the turbine loads.
Turbine foundations
We excavate, form, rebar, and pour the wind turbine foundations to the geotech report and the turbine loads.
Crane pads & laydown
We build the crane pads and laydown yards the erection crews need, sized to the crane and the components.
Access roads
We build the access roads and turnarounds that carry the blades, towers, and cranes across the site.
Site grading & drainage
We clear, grade, and handle the drainage and stormwater across the whole wind-farm site.
Pads & O&M buildings
We pour the equipment pads and build the O&M building and shelters on the site.
Perimeter security
We build the fence, gates, and security around the substation and control buildings on the site.
Where we stop: the turbines, the electrical collection, the transformers, and the substation electrical are the owner’s EPC and electrical contractor. We do the civil, structural, and security scope, and build what the turbines stand on.
Built to the geotech and the turbine loads
A turbine foundation is engineered to the soil and the machine. We build to the geotech report and the turbine manufacturer’s drawings, and we document it.

Common questions
Does Langston erect wind turbines?
No. The turbine erection is the owner’s crew and crane contractor. We build the foundations, crane pads, and roads the turbines stand on and move across.
What turbine foundation types does Langston build?
Spread footings and the common gravity foundations, built to the geotech report and the turbine manufacturer’s drawings.
Does Langston do the electrical collection?
No. The collection cable, transformers, and substation electrical are the electrical contractor’s scope. We build the roads, pads, and foundations.
How does Langston build wind-farm access roads?
We build the access roads and turnarounds to carry heavy blades, tower sections, and cranes, graded and surfaced for the loads.
Where does Langston build?
From our South Carolina headquarters, for developers, utilities, EPCs, and integrators.
