Goodnight Wind

Client: IEA Renewable Energy, Inc
Location: Armstrong County, Texas
Duration: 2022-2023
Service Provided: MTC supported critical infrastructure and structural testing across the site. Our team performed density and proof–rolling observations during access road and crane pad earthwork. We tested subgrade, backfill, and concrete for turbine foundations. Grout testing was also conducted to verify structural integrity. For the electrical collection line system, we sampled every 1,000–1,500 ft along the first 10–15 kft, and then at mile intervals—ensuring consistent quality across the full network.
Project Description: The Goodnight Wind Farm in Claude, Texas is a 265.5 MW renewable energy facility developed in Armstrong County. It comprises 59 Vestas turbines spread across nearly 19,500 acres, supported by a network of access roads, crane pads, and underground collection lines. As part of an expansive clean energy initiative, Goodnight aims to power over 60,000 homes in ERCOT and became fully operational at the end of 2023
