Lunar Technology Aids Wind Farm Construction

The first of 30 turbines was fitted at the UKs newest offshore windfarm at North Hoyle , 8 to 11 km, off the coast of Wales, on 19 August. The site is set to generate 60MW of power, enough to run 50,000 homes, when it becomes operational later this year.

The monopiles are towed out to Excalibur and attached to the crane with a special male to female spear and latching system prior to a buoyant lift into the vertical.
