Background

As a national developer/design-builder, Ryan is well positioned to deliver full-service wind power solutions to our customers. The company offers a number of services in-house including development, civil engineering, financing, on-site project and field management and we self-perform concrete work. Ryan has developed a number of large, complex infrastructure projects that require extensive collaboration with communities. While the company’s core competencies align well with wind power, we have also partnered with wind power contractor Carstensen Contracting of Pipestone, Minnesota. Together, we have 98 years of construction experience and the combined resources of national developer/design-builder with more than 35 years of individual wind power expertise.
