Ford Dagenham photos

London's First wind park is now up and running. So, how did it all get put together?

We documented the whole construction as it progressed and you can see how the turbines were built by simply clicking on the pages below. Pages 1 and 2 show the different phases involved in building the foundations and page 3 onwards show the actual turbine being erected.

We've also got some great aerial shots taken from the top of the west turbine with the London skyline and the River Thames in the background.
