Service Area and Project Reach

Borneke supports complex civil construction projects across Minnesota and nationwide, with crews experienced in a wide range of terrain and site conditions. Our teams have worked from southern Texas through the Midwest and into Canada, mobilizing where the scope requires disciplined execution, dependable production, and consistent jobsite coordination.

For wind energy civil construction, Don Borneke Construction, Inc. brings proven performance at scale. Our first civil wind project was completed in 2000, and we have since completed more than 60 wind projects totaling over 3,200 turbines and approximately 7,000 MW across multiple states and Canada.

Typical Wind Farm Civil Infrastructure Scope

Typical wind farm civil scope includes site clearing, laydown yards and staging areas, turbine access road construction, and public road and intersection upgrades that support heavy haul and crane logistics. We also handle foundation excavation, dewatering when required, and backfill and compaction, along with road maintenance and dust control to keep production moving.

For heavy lift and turbine delivery, we build crane travel paths, crane pads, and laydown pads, and provide turbine delivery and crane assistance as needed. When the project calls for it, we support substation civil work, erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, stabilization, rock excavation and crushing, and closeout through site reclamation and final restoration.

If you have a project outside our typical footprint, reach out. Borneke evaluates work based on scope, schedule, and site logistics, and we regularly mobilize to meet client needs for major civil, infrastructure, and energy projects.

Borneke mobilizes into New England for civil construction work where access, drainage, and finished grades have to perform under tight corridors and limited work windows. From site development and underground utilities to road building and reconstruction, we keep production predictable with disciplined sequencing, clean coordination, and field decisions that reduce rework.
