Wedoany.com Report-Feb 20, Collett & Sons has successfully delivered 216 wind turbine components to the 108MW Limekiln Wind Farm, a project featuring 24 Vestas V136 turbines.
Located on the Limekiln Estate, just south of Reay Caithness in the Scottish Highlands, the wind farm is currently under construction by Boralex.
After the blades and tower components arrived into Scrabster Port, the Collett team transported them directly to a secure on-site storage area on the wind farm.
The delivery of the remaining components was strategically aligned with the wind farm's construction schedule, Collett said.
Key components included 67m long blades transported on Nooteboom Super Wing Carrier trailers and 74Te base tower sections transported utilising Collett’s new 3x7 Nooteboom clamps.
Additional components, such as mid tower, top tower, nacelle, drive train, and hub, were transported via 6-axle stepframe trailer.
All components followed the same 45-minute route to the wind farm site entrance before navigating the large wind farm site to their respective pad.
Police escorts were arranged for blades and tower sections up to the site entrance, with Collett’s escort fleet continuing the journey across the site.
