Sarens supplies new monopile facility in the UK

Comments Off on Sarens supplies new monopile facility in the UK

Sarens is known for world-class equipment, expertise, and reliability in supporting client projects globally, from civil infrastructure to renewable energy initiatives.

In this case, client Severfield UK trusted Sarens to provide several crawler and all-terrain cranes for a 12-month rental period at the SeAH Wind monopile facility in the UK.

The new monopile factory, build in Redcar’s Teesworks industrial zone in Teesside, is poised to create more jobs and boost the local economy. Sarens is proud to support this pivotal initiative by providing several cranes, and was selected specifically for our competitive offer, deep industry knowledge, and equipment size and capacity.

Sarens provided the following rental equipment for the project: 7 x LTR 1100 telescopic crawler cranes; 7 x LR 1130 crawler cranes; 1 x LR 1350 hydraulic crawler crane; 2 x LTM 1650 all-terrain crane; 1 x LTM 1750 all-terrain crane; 1 x CC 2800 crawler crane.

All equipment was delivered via road transport over the course of 1-2 weeks. It took another 1-2 days to rig each crane depending on its configurations.

The rented cranes will remain onsite for a full year, constructing steelwork and overhead gantries. Because of the more complex nature of some lifts, selecting the proper equipment, placement, and configuration has been vital to ensuring adequate boom clearance and ultimately, successful installations.

Sarens also worked closely with the crane manufacturer to obtain an increased working wind speed due to the site’s exposure and unique susceptibility to high winds. The increased wind speed allowance took into consideration crane configuration, lift criteria like radius and capacity, and load characteristics like sail area, weight, and load coefficient. This increased allowance has made it possible for the cranes to continue working in challenging conditions, ultimately increasing their productivity.
