Our new WTG installation concept has been developed to make offshore windfarms installations significantly faster than traditional jack-ups, with indicative efficiency gains of 30%. How?
The key to efficiency lies in fact that the Wind Installation Vessel stays on-site for assembly, while only the tugs and barges shuttle back and forth with the turbine components.
There are four steps to the new methodology:
1. Barge docks at our new on-location Wind Installation Vessel;
2. Locking system engages to stabilise the barge;
3. Tray with turbine components is elevated off the barge and locking system retracts, releasing the barge;
4. Tower, nacelle and blades are assembled using a standard method.
