Copies of testing certificates and calibration records for all tooling shall be maintained at the Project Site and available for review by Owner. Testing and Quality Control All testing described herein shall be performed by an independent, experienced third party. Contractor shall notify Owner of all testing schedules at least 30 days in advance of testing activities. All Wind Turbine electrical wiring shall be tested to demonstrate it meets stated design criteria and is fit for purpose. Wind Turbine testing shall include the following, at a minimum: All testing specified in the Applicable Standards, including NETA. All testing reasonably recommended or required by the applicable equipment suppliers. Structural works testing for grout properties, in accordance with Section 6.0 (Structural herein. Works Specifications) All exposed cable sections shall be visually inspected for physical damage or manufacturing defects. Such inspections shall be performed prior to and during installation. Megger test of all 34.5-kV Wind Turbine cables. Final continuity tests after completion of all system connections. Acceptable continuity tests shall include a Megger test or VLF test at 100 percent of rated voltage. General Provisions References to towers” herein shall be understood to include both permanent and “meteorological temporary meteorological towers, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Meteorological towers shall be sized and constructed appropriately to allow instrumentation to be placed at Wind Turbine hub height. A side-by-side (i.e., goalpost) anemometer orientation, as shown in IEC 61400-12-1, shall be utilized; such side-by-side anemometers will be mounted at Wind Turbine hub height on each permanent meteorological tower. Similarly, any height provided by a foundation for the temporary meteorological tower shall be taken into consideration relative to the final constructed hub height of the Wind Turbine. Meteorological towers shall be designed and fabricated to the latest EIA/TIA-222-FS Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures and according to other Applicable Standards.
