About Renewable Energy

G.W. Tatro Construction, Inc. is proud of our varied portfolio of work. Having been founded at the foot of the beautiful Green Mountains, we are attentive to the increasing need and desire for renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in construction, and it is the goal of G.W. Tatro to become the go-to contractor for renewable energy construction. We have successfully completed multiple penstock replacement projects, assisted with the installation of several wind towers, and worked on several solar projects.

    HYDROELECTRIC

    There are few contractors out there with the hydroelectric expertise that G.W. Tatro has.  For over a decade, We have been a go-to source for this type of work. We installed over a mile of 72” pipe with the five-phase Marshfield Penstock Replacement Project.  We have done additional work in Danville, Rutland, Canaan and across state lines. The largest diameter installed to date was in Pepperell, Mass., where the penstock had a width of 144”!

    We have dredged and supported several dam reconstruction projects across the state, including with the rubber dam in Highgate Falls. We have removed several failing dams and aided in the stream reconstruction. Variety and challenge are two of our strengths, and we see those in spades with this type of work. When you need professional work and years of expertise, reach out to G.W. Tatro!

    WIND

    Combining two of this company’s areas of expertise—renewables and mountain work—it’s no wonder that we have been assisting with the installation of wind towers across Vermont and New England for years.  And our wind work isn’t exclusive to just the slopes: we have done work on the coastline, at airports, and everywhere in between! We pride ourselves in being excellent support for any type of wind project, be it building access roads up steep mountainous terrain, excavating foundations, or hauling the massive equipment to the top of a mountain.

    Our specialized equipment modifications allow us to do heavy hauling up steep and icy slopes in the coldest months of Vermont’s winter, allowing mechanical, maintenance, and repair work to be effected. Our equipment can access these remote peaks with very little impact to the environment. So next time you’re looking for support with any size wind project, you couldn’t go wrong in reaching out to G.W. Tatro!

    SOLAR

    Across the globe, solar has become a burgeoning industry that is an integral next step toward a cleaner future.

    For us, It’s not just talk– we’ve done it. We have worked hand-in-hand with developers from the earliest design and estimation stages of a project. We’ve surveyed the sites and cleared the ground, and handled the installation. We make sure the project is professional, pristine and peerless. We also are proud to offer support services for solar work– whether it’s winching on steep slopes, site clearing, or finish work. Give us a call and we can help you make your project the best it can be!
