A heavy-lift quay and laydown yard built to stage turbine blades, towers and foundations for offshore wind farms.
Turbine parts are among the heaviest and longest loads moved anywhere. The quay had to carry crawler cranes and self-propelled transporters with point loads far beyond a normal port, and the laydown yard had to be strong, flat and drained enough to store blades, towers and foundations for months. Marine work ran on tides and weather windows, and dredging and in-water work had environmental limits on timing.
The approach.
- 01
Ground tested before design was final
Borings and load tests across the yard guided the ground improvement plan, so soft areas were fixed before paving.
- 02
Marine work by the calendar
Pile driving and dredging were scheduled inside environmental work windows, with backup plans ready for weather days.
- 03
A quay built for crawler loads
The quay deck and its piles were designed and built for heavy crane and transporter loads, then load-tested before the first vessel call.
- 04
Power and controls for the yard
Yard lighting, shore power, security cameras and the terminal network were installed and commissioned by our own systems team.
The outcome.
“You do not get a second try at setting a turbine blade down. The quay had to be right before the first one arrived.”
Construction manager, Tum Harry
