Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm Project
RED Engineering’s expertise lifted to new heights with the
Temporary power for immersive party concept in London’s Olympic Park
New monitoring technology developed by RED Engineering has been used for the first time to improve accuracy, speed and safety during the instal- lation of jacket foundations for wind turbines at the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm Ltd project in the Moray Firth, Scotland. The development by the North East-based firm of engineers features remote proximity sensors to confirm the correct engagement of an internal lifting tool (ILT) in use by Seaway Heavy Lifting, a Subsea 7 company. These are connected to a remote monitoring system providing improved control of the lifting tool and confirming correct engagement. In addition to improved accuracy during lifting, the RED Engineering system delivers offshore time saving advantages for SHL, allowing rigger- less operations to be undertaken. Tim Newsome, mechanical engineer at of RED Engineering, explained that prior to using the new technol- ogy, SHL would deploy a man-basket suspended from a second crane to check the engagement of the internal lifting clamp – a procedure with inherent risk precluded by wet or winding weather conditions. He added: “This latest project is typical of the value
added by our innovative application of existing technology, reducing risks and saving our client’s time and money. “We’re delighted that SHL has placed its faith in our expertise and experienced engineers, and look forward to further applications of this beneficial technology in offshore operations.” Seaway Heavy Lifting is a leading offshore contractor to operators in the global oil and gas and renewables industry offering tailored T&I and EPCI solutions. Edgar Steinebach, innovation specialist, said the first operation with the RED system has been a major success, and added: “This is a step forward for this type of lifting operation and allows us to offer a better service to our clients in the offshore wind sector.” The tool features sensors as part of a remote monitoring
unit mounted onto the ILT. Signals received at a base station located adjacent to the ILT operator indicate that the sensors are in or out of position. In the future, the tool could be adapted and upgraded to report if there are any obstructions between the remote and base units. The system works in combination with CCTV for improved monitoring and visibility, increasing all round safety.

Elizabeth Olympic Park. This colourful, fun and friendly two-day Spanish festival of music made its debut here, bringing with it a mammoth line up including some of the biggest DJ’s in the world; headliners Jamie Jones, widely regarded as the leader in the new sound of house, Dan Pearce aka Eats Everything dance DJ and producer along with actor and DJ Idris Elba taking to the decks just down the road from his childhood home. Powerhire allocated 11 of its most efficient temporary generators, ranging from 30kVA to
P
300kVA, along with 9 x 1000 & 2000 litre fuel tanks, locating them with the specified power loads at designated locations. These were delivered from Powerhire’s Dover depot, along with the necessary rental cable. After a very successful, unforgettable two days of partying, the weekend ended with explosions of rainbow confetti, props and toys - a typical, signature finale for Elrow.
30MW Hywind floating offshore wind farm now operational
Statoil & Masdar have just commissioned the 30MW Hywind floating offshore wind farm off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland, which is claimed to be world’s first floating wind farm. The wind farm will
feature five new 6MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbines, and generate clean electricity required to meet the power need of approximately 20,000 households. Statoil New Energy

Solutions business area executive vice-president Irene Rummelhoff said: “Hywind can be used for water depths up to 800m, thus opening up areas that so far have been inaccessible for offshore wind.” Statoil and Masdar has
said they are jointly plan- ning to deploy an advanced new 1MWh lithium battery storage system, Batwind, at the Hywind project in 2018.
