Wind Turbines, South Promenade, Blackpool
The works involved the advance civil works required prior to the installation of 3No.wind turbines along the South Promenade, Blackpool.
The work elements comprised:
- Installation of 3No. RC foundations to Blackpool Council design
- Installation of 150mm ducting to each turbine base
- Directional drilling of two 150mm ducts under existing tram tracks.
- Pull cables from each turbine base
- Reinstate area around bases and ducts.
As the works involved working within the Green Zone of the Blackpool Tramway all works were undertaken within Blackpool Transport Safety Procedures including the prescribed permit to work procedure.
“A lot of thought went into the method but I particularly wanted to acknowledge the professional and skillful manner in which the operatives went about their work in less than favorable conditions. They had a good grasp of the safety and operational issues and the concerns of UUE were taken on board very responsibly.”
Bob Peck, Director – MMC
