15 More Windmills (Wind Turbines) for Buffalo Mountain

2004 July

View of Barnhart Wind assembly site off Bethel Valley Road, between Oak Ridge and ORNL. This location was used for some assembly of nacelle components:

Barnhart Wind Assembly Area off Bethel Valley Road

While attending Behavior Based Safety Observer training in the vicinity, I took the opportunity to get a few photos of the assembly site.

Elsewhere in town (right), at a crossing on Melton Lake Drive, turbine towers were visible down the railroad tracks.

See the towers and blades storage site along the railroad.
