Leveraging its prior successful collaboration with GE and the Vineyard Wind 1 endeavor, Morrison has accomplished the fabrication of two blade rack spreader bars. These bars will play a vital role in optimizing the storage and installation processes of the Haliade-X wind turbines.
With each spreader bar weighing 76 short tons and stretching 230 feet in length, they will be positioned on vertical tower storage frames, acting as a critical element for transporting, storing, and installing the towering 850-foot wind turbines.
Morrison’s scope included fully managing from procurement and construction through delivery to the destination in New Bedford, Massachusetts. By employing innovative approaches and adhering to a demanding timeline, Morrison ensured top-notch quality and timely delivery.
The load testing phase, with each spreader bar holding 565 short tons, necessitated a meticulous and comprehensive execution plan, collaboratively prepared with the expertise of Versabar.
