Terex-Demag in 108m wind power lift contract
A Terex-Demag CC 8800 crawler crane, providing a lifting capacity of up to 1,250t and boom lengths of up to 216m has been used to help build the first German near-shore wind-power project, which has been put into service by wind power installation designer ENOVA. The height of the hub is 108m, rotor blades are 53m in length, and the weight of the steel tower is 850t.
Engineers in charge of the project called upon Belgium-based crane operator Sarens claimed to be the only European company to have a Terex-Demag CC 8800 to help with the assembly. Apart from the sheer dimensions, the location in the middle of the Ems River also constituted a challenge. The crane and all power plant components had to be loaded onto a pontoon in order to complete the assembly.
The tower components were completed first. Subsequently, the plant's engine carrier, generator, hub and rotor blades were mounted at height. For these tasks the crane was configured SSL/ LSL at a system length of 138m. The Superlift counterweight of 400t complemented the 100t central weight at height and the 220t counterweight. Terex-Demag said that, with 92 offshore plants projected in the North Sea, its CC 8800 would play an important role in the future.
