First Topside for offshore wind fam successfully installed

September 4, 2020

In 2019 Eager.one was requested to supply a new Substation Topside Lifting Frame for a new wind farm. Instead of constructing this new Lifting Frame we proposed a sustainable rental option. This sustainable rental option was possible because the Substation Topside Lifting Frame request was very similar to an existing Cross Spreader that we delivered in September 2015 to Blue Offshore. To make this existing Cross Spreader Lifting Frame suitable for this project, a higher capacity upgrade was necessary.

This upgrade resulted in a Cross Spreader of 13 by 15 meter at SWL 1,295 ton. After overload testing the adjusted Cross Spreader was ready for the installation of the Substation Topsides. The excellent project management collaboration with the client made this first Topside Lift for an offshore wind farm to a successful installation.
