Engineers need to plan for the safe transportation, handling, and assembly of these large and delicate components. Ensuring proper lifting, securing, and connection techniques during installation are crucial to avoid damage and ensure proper alignment and balance.
Nord-Lock Group products address challenges related to vibration, dynamic loads, corrosion, and maintenance requirements, contributing to the longevity and performance of the wind turbine system in offshore environments.
Wind turbines must be transported in pieces and assembled on site, often times at great heights. Machinery can experience significant lug wear due to heavy loads.
Expander® system pivot pins eliminate lug wear in heavy machinery.
Transporting and assembling large wind turbine components offshore can be logistically complex. Specialized vessels and equipment are required to transport and install the turbine components. The offshore environment can introduce additional logistical constraints due to weather conditions and limited working windows.
Many Nord-Lock Group products are specified for shipping vessel maintenance. Utilizing Nord-Lock Group products across the supply chain reduces logistical constraints in the transportation and installation of offshore wind turbines.
