The Prairie Wind Turbine Manufacturing Complex is a next-generation industrial facility designed to support the rapid expansion of wind energy across the United States. Completed in 2025, the project delivers a 1.3 million sq ft manufacturing ecosystem capable of producing turbine towers, nacelles, and blade components.
Site Development
The Kansas prairie site required:
- 230 acres of grading
- High-capacity drainage systems
- Soil stabilization for heavy industrial foundations
More than 400,000 cubic yards of soil were moved during early works.
Facility Structure & Engineering
The main buildings include:
- A 900,000 sq ft fabrication hall
- 200,000 sq ft logistics warehouse
- 100,000 sq ft testing and R&D wing
Structural steel erection used 14,500 tons of steel with rapid sequencing to meet demanding production deadlines.
MEP & Process Infrastructure
Key installations:
- Overhead crane systems (20–120 ton capacity)
- High-voltage electrical rooms
- Ventilation and dust-collection systems
- Robotic welding zones
- Automated blade inspection lines
Sustainability Design
The complex integrates:
- Solar PV rooftop arrays
- Natural daylighting through clerestories
- Low-energy HVAC
- Water recycling systems
The facility achieved LEED Gold certification.
Logistics & Supply Chain
With large turbine components requiring special handling, the site includes:
- Multi-bay loading docks
- Heavy-haul access roads
- Rail spur connection for outbound transport
The Prairie Wind Turbine Manufacturing Complex positions the region as a strategic hub for renewable-energy component production.
