4.8Installation Personnel Considerations
The installation and maintenance of a wind turbine requires specialized skills, equipment and experience. AOC assumes that all installation and operation personnel will have these skills, experience and equipment. Only trained and qualified technicians should attempt to climb a wind turbine tower and should use OSHA/ANSI approved practice and equipment. It is highly recommended that a trained AOC representative be present for the erection and assembly of the wind turbine (see Section 4.9). The following personnel should also be present, as and when required, during installation:
∙One to two qualified technicians trained in climbing safety to erect and install wind turbine
∙Qualified crane operator to operate the crane during tower and wind turbine lifting
∙Certified electrician and/or utility personnel to install cables and wire controllers
∙Additional labor for
4.9General Installation/Commissioning Timeline

Site Preparations and Construction:
∙Pour foundation
∙Create cableways, wiring, power cables
∙Install and wire control boxes, capacitor, and dynamic brakes
