Collett & Sons Ltd has successfully completed the delivery of 90 components for the Cushaling wind farm project in Ireland, marking a significant milestone in their renewable energy portfolio. The project involved the transportation of nine V162 Vestas Eventus turbines, which are currently under construction. The real highlight of this project, however, is the transportation of 80-meter-long turbine blades—the longest ever delivered in the UK and Ireland.
Transporting blades of this size poses considerable logistical challenges, but Collett embraced these head-on. Using their industry-leading Blade Adapter trailer, the company was able to navigate the complexities of transporting such immense components. This specialized equipment not only helped ensure the safe delivery but also demonstrated Collett’s leadership and innovative approach within the wind turbine transport sector.
Wind farms are critical to advancing the green energy agenda, and transporting the enormous blades required careful planning, execution, and coordination. Collett’s team in Ireland worked diligently throughout the duration of the project to ensure every delivery arrived on time and without incident. Their commitment to innovation and precision is what allowed the company to deliver these massive components without any major setbacks.
“This project really tested our capabilities, but our team rose to the occasion. It’s always rewarding to push boundaries in logistics, and the successful delivery of these blades is a testament to the teamwork and expertise that Collett brings to every project,” the company stated in a recent update.
With the successful completion of the Cushaling wind farm deliveries, Collett continues to strengthen its position as a leader in the renewable energy logistics sector. The company acknowledged the contributions of both its team in Ireland and its project partners for their role in achieving this major milestone.
