The final component deliveries to Clocaenog Wind Farm in Wales have been completed.
With the first of the deliveries taking place at the beginning of January, for the past six months Collett & Sons Ltd has been travelling the 70 mile route from Ellesmere Port to Clocaenog Forest Wind Farm, steadily delivering the turbine components to the North Wales site.
Collett has made the final journey from the port to the development site, delivering the final tower sections to complete the project.
Through the snow of January, the storms of February and the record breaking heat of July, Collett methodically delivered each of the 270 components. With a total of 121 abnormal load convoys and 15 self-escorted convoys, Collett covered a staggering 16,929 miles with a total of 12,420 Tonnes.
Construction is now well underway of the 27 V105 Vestas turbines which will form Innogy Renewable UK's North Wales site. Once operational Clocaenog Forest will have an installed capacity of 96 megawatts, and will generate enough renewable energy for the equivalent domestic needs of up to 63,800 average households per year.
Experts in Motion since 1928, Collett & Sons Ltd has a wealth of experience transporting difficult and abnormal loads throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide. Our haulage fleet of over 65 trucks, 120 specialist trailers and Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) operate across our strategically placed depots in Halifax, at the Port of Goole, the Port of Grangemouth, and most recently with the introduction of Collett (Ireland) Ltd in Dublin, we are ideally positioned to provide the solution for your project’s requirements.
With specialist teams dedicated to Heavy Transport, Heavy Lift, Marine & Transport Consulting, Collett & Sons has evolved to reflect the diverse nature of the transport business and the clients it serves.
