Complete installation of 26 Vestas V136 wind turbines, delivering precision heavy lifting from tower erection to final blade installation.
The Orlivka Wind Farm was developed to expand Ukraine’s renewable energy capacity through the installation of 26 Vestas V136 wind turbines with a 117-metre hub height. We were entrusted with the complete heavy lifting scope, delivering every stage of turbine erection—from tower assembly to the installation of the nacelle, drivetrain, hub and blades.
Each turbine required a carefully planned installation sequence to ensure structural stability while maintaining the construction schedule across multiple turbine locations. Working in an open-field environment added further complexity, demanding continuous planning of crane movements and site logistics throughout the project.
Each turbine was erected in a carefully controlled sequence. The lower and first middle tower sections were installed before the foundation was grouted with concrete to achieve the required structural integrity. After the concrete reached its design strength, the remaining tower sections were assembled, followed immediately by installation of the nacelle to stabilise the structure. The drivetrain, hub and three rotor blades were then installed using specialised lifting equipment and dedicated blade handling tools. Before relocating to the next turbine position, our supervisors assessed ground bearing capacity and site conditions to ensure the safe movement of the crane fleet across the wind farm.
Successfully completed the heavy lifting and installation of 26 Vestas V136 wind turbines, supporting the delivery of one of Ukraine's major renewable energy developments.
