Offshore<br />
“BARD Offshore 1” is a<br />
windpark under construction<br />
in the North Sea by BARD<br />
Engineering GmbH.<br />
Power from the wind turbines that<br />
were the fi rst to be erected was fed<br />
into the grid for the fi rst time at the<br />
beginning of December 2010. The<br />
fi rm responsible for installation in<br />
the BARD Group, BARD Building,<br />
is pursuing its continuous optimisation<br />
process. Maschinenfabrik<br />
Wagner, with the brand <strong>Plarad</strong>, has<br />
been able to make a contribution<br />
to this process through installation<br />
support. Among other things, this<br />
covered the condition and the<br />
application of PLARAD bolting<br />
tools.<br />
The focus here was on the utilisation<br />
of the obtained fi ndings to<br />
improve bolting results, to shorten<br />
assembly times, to avoid machine<br />
damage and to prevent accidents.<br />
The safety during assembly of the<br />
tower and the nacelle, for example,<br />
was increased by means of<br />
an optimised support, assembly<br />
scrapes on the tower wall were<br />
avoided and the mechanism of<br />
the hydraulic bolting tool was<br />
subjected to less stress.<br />
The fi rm BARD was extremely satisfi<br />
ed with the overall results and with<br />
the optimisation measures. ■
