Global Crane Services recently supported sister company Global Wind Projects with specialist heavy-lift crane operations at Mill Rig Onshore Wind Farm, near Darvel in East Ayrshire, for Nordex Group.
Developed by OnPath Energy, the 33.4 MW wind farm comprises six Nordex N163/5.X wind turbines, each standing approximately 200 metres to blade tip. The project marked the first installation of this turbine model in the UK.
Our team deployed LG1750 and LTM1650 cranes to support turbine installation. Across the six turbines, the LG1750 carried out nine lifts per turbine, completing 54 component lifts, while the LTM1650 completed a further 12 component lifts, bringing the total to 66 component lifts across the project.
