Mammoet<\/a> transported the world\u2019s longest wind turbine blade from LM Wind Power\u2019s pilot plant in Lunderskov to the Blaest Test Center in Aalborg. Being the longest blade in the world, no transport equipment has been previously planned for such scale, so LM Wind Power needed a specialist transport company to carry out this unique operation.<\/p>\n

MAMMOET WIND SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES TRANSPORT OF THE LONGEST BLADE IN THE WORLD, AT 88.4 METERS<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The blade measures 88.4 meters in length, with a height of 4.47 meters when loaded on the truck. Precise planning was essential to this operation as the clearance to pass under bridges measured just three centimeters.<\/p>\n

The initial route surveys were conducted based on the preliminary drawings of the blade. Along the planning, the blade size was increased in terms of width and overall height, which led to transport unit adjustments such as longer overhang due to the movement of the tip support point. All road modifications, like traffic signs positions and removal of trees had changed during the process. All these adjustments have been approved by the local authorities, police and the Danish road authorities. Strong relationships between all involved parties made this a smooth and safe operation.<\/p>\n

The transport planning started approximately one year prior to the actual transport. Meetings with the police, local authorities and the road authorities were held on site at different pinch points on the route, discussing the intended methods and expected time for different maneuvers. Close coordination with the authorities and all other parties involved enabled the successful completion of this one of a kind transport. With the route precisely planned in advance and experts on point temporarily dismantling guardrails and road signs the successful completion of the transport represented a proud moment for both Mammoet Wind and LM Wind Power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe transport of the LM 88.4 blade went 100% as planned, even a little faster than expected. A major part of the transport running smoothly was due to long term partner, Arkil Road, Kurt Larsen Storm, taking care of a lot of the planning involving the road authorities and all road modifications such as permanent relocation of traffic signal, temporary removal of traffic signs, and removal of crash barriers allowing the transport to drive against flow of traffic on the motorway. On site Mammoet personnel, S\u00f8ren Pacholski and Michael Nygaard, as well as escort vehicles drivers did a great job working closely together as \u201cone team\u201d as always. I can only be satisfied with the way the transport went, and the way that people worked together.\u201c<\/p>\n
