Boring & Underground Construction in Nolan County, TX
Nolan County is the wind capital of Texas. Sweetwater and Roscoe sit on I-20 about 40 miles west of Abilene, surrounded by some of the largest wind farms in the world — and all that generation feeds underground collector lines that have to cross roads, ranch access, and the rail line.
Sweetwater is called the Wind Turbine Capital of Texas, and Nolan County hosts the Roscoe (781 MW), Sweetwater (585 MW), and nearby Buffalo Gap complexes — underground collector and CREZ-tied lines are steady work here, and directional drilling handles their road and rail crossings.
I-20, US-70, and US-84 run through the county with the Union Pacific line alongside, so cased highway and railroad crossings are routine. Caliche, gypsum, and rock are common in the Nolan County ground.
