Wind Turbine Logistics

Perhaps the most difficult part of the logistical planning associated with wind turbines, their transport needs to be carefully planned and coordinated. The most important part of this is getting all of the proper equipment and expertise for all of the items that make up the wind turbine to their destination safely. The components of the wind turbine, such as the tower, nacelle, and blades, are first manufactured at different locations and then transported to the wind farm site. The components are usually shipped by truck, train, or ship, depending on the distance and the location of the site. There may be situations where the different components of the wind turbine need to be shipped and prepared differently. Our construction logistics and construction site logistics professionals are prepared to help owners of these kinds of businesses with everything that they need in this respect. 

However, the transport of these items is only a small part of the overall picture of wind turbine logistics because once the components arrive at the site, they are assembled and installed. This process requires specialized cranes and other heavy equipment. The installation of a wind turbine can take several days to complete. After transporting and installing the wind turbines, you will need to make sure that they get ongoing maintenance and repair. This includes regular inspections, lubrication of moving parts, and replacement of worn components.
