Installation of wind turbines

CLIENT SPECIFICS

Enercon, a manufacturer of world class wind turbines, wanted to install 4 wind turbines at Hardanges, in Mayenne. The turbines had a rotor axis height of 103 m and a unit capacity of 2.3 MW.

PONTICELLI’S CHALLENGES

As part of the total erection works of these 4 wind turbines, Ponticelli was commissioned to carry out the lifting operations with a hook height of 112 m. As the Hardanges region has little economic activity, Ponticelli was capable of responding while respecting the client’s budget constraints, particularly in terms of transport.

SCOPE

• 4 weeks’ work
• Study plans via Autocad
• Complete transfer via crawlers between each turbine
• Lifting of all the components of each turbine (hubs, nacelles, rotors and blades)
