PORTLAND WIND FARMS:

TOM BANNISTER

At the Cape Bridgewater Windfarm, a badly damaged blade needed to be repaired on the ground. This required a two-crane lift to remove the blade from the turbine and a second blade lifted as a replacement. The pad at T22 provided significant obstacles as it is small, with multiple levels. Each critical step was well planned out and all those went that extra step to reduce any risks to a manageable level. TWPS would like to recognise the combined effort of the TWPS staff involved and the contractors, Keppel Prince and Sharp Cranes. Excellent teamwork!
