Barge Grasp has accomplished the primary feeder operation for the Winery Wind 1 undertaking in partnership with FOSS Offshore Wind, Seaqualize, GE and DEME Offshore US.
Barge Grasp’s movement compensation platforms performed a pivotal position in sustaining the steadiness and security of the tower sections for the GE Haliade-X turbine. These platforms compensate the vessel motions, guaranteeing that the tower sections stay regular all through the lifting course of.
Along with Seaqualize’s heave compensation software, which compensates for vertical motion, each applied sciences resulted in a seamless and secure lifting operation, rising the climate window considerably.
For this undertaking, Barge Grasp developed a “Heavy Feeder” system, to compensate for the load and top of the immense tower sections. The system can compensate weights of as much as 1,500 tons in sea states of two.5 meters. The hydraulic cylinders and drive and management of the system have been delivered by Van Halteren Applied sciences. TWD was liable for all detailed engineering of the platforms and foundations.
