By utilising the twin gantry cranes, dockside and mobile cranes, transporters and 80 acres of hard standing ground, H&W were able to accommodate all 60 sets on site with ease. Throughout the duration H&W supported the project with additional services such as provision of heavy engineering trades, dry-docking, repair and modifications to the delivery and installation vessels and steel fabrication / construction.

In line with the exacting performance standards demanded of E.ON / Vestas, H&W implemented a step change in its Health and Safety methods and procedures, driving to attain ‘best-in-class’ status. This resulted in applying a highly visible and rigorous system which is now our standard.
