A trusted supplier of wind farm support services

Crane Hire for the Renewables Sector

The Challenge

Danish company Eltronic Wind Solutions were commissioned to make adjustments to the main boom of the Seajacks Leviathan windfarm installation vessel whilst it was docked in Harwich. Under the control of German technology giant Siemens, the colossal jack up barge utilises an 80 metre, 400 tonne crane for the erection of offshore wind turbines as part of the Greater Gabbard Project.

The Seajacks Leviathan costs tens of thousands of dollars a day and is subject to a very demanding installation schedule while at the mercy of the North Sea weather. Start times would be fluid but once the job started, work would continue night and day to ensure the minimum possible down time.
