Collet & Sons deliver turbine components for 23.5 MW Craiggore wind project in County Derry

Collett & Sons has delivered 110 Enercon E92 turbine components, including 44.5 m-long blades, to the Craiggore wind farm project in County Derry, Northern Ireland.

The blades were moved on Collett’s three and four-axle extendable blade trailers, while the 67-tonne generators were on six-axle step-frame trailers. Each turbine comprises four tower sections, three of which were transported on step-frame trailers. The heaviest tower section (66 tonnes) was moved on modular trailers.

The project developer, Renewable Energy Systems (RES) expects that the onshore wind farm will produce about 80 GWh a year, enough electricity for about 21,500 households.
