A Rare Landmark in Hull, MA
13-acre town landfill home to fiirst commerical-scale turbine on East Coast
12/03/2009 - Located on a peninsula just 10 miles from Boston, Hull has a history of harnessing wind power that dates back to the early 19th century. Today, the town features two wind turbines: a 165-foot-high, 660-kilowatt Vestas turbine known as Hull Wind 1, which has the distinction of being the first commercial-scale wind turbine to go online anywhere on the East Coast; and a second Vestas turbine, Hull Wind 2, with a capacity of 1.8-megawatts and a tower height of 195 feet.

What our clients say...
This project required a complex sequence of utility relocations to clear the sites and to clear the street for tunnel construction. S E A has done an extraordinary job and knows very well university needs, site planning and engineering, as well as the process of implantation, permitting, and construction.
