As part of a collaborative scope for one of the biggest offshore wind farms in the world,
ALE and their Conbit operation have reached the half-way milestone for the marine transportation, sea-fastening, load-out and ballasting of over 100 transition pieces (TPs) for Ørsted’s Hornsea Project One.
Utilising its innovative equipment and structural engineering expertise, ALE has been able to find a safer and more cost-effective heavy transport solution.
ALE has been contracted by GeoSea to provide the specialist offshore engineering as well as the marine transportation, sea-fastening, load-out and ballasting of over 100 transition pieces (TPs) for Ørsted’s Hornsea Project One.
For the structural engineering, the Conbit team performed the structural integrity and sea fastening calculations of the grillages on the barge deck of the SARAH S barge – ALE’s latest marine investment.
ALE began their heavy lifting and transportation scope in March, loading-out the TPs, each weighing 337t and measuring 25m high, from the fabrication yard onto the barge and performing the sea-fastening and marine transport.
