Tower transport equipment

Design and verification of universal tower transport equipment (UTTE)

The task included:

  • Design risk assessment in accordance with harmonized standards.
  • Development and approval of design through DFMEA.
  • Determination of load envelope for storage, road transport, SPMT transport and sea transport of tower sections.
  • Design of all equipment in the UTTE package, including:
    • The tower transport equipment fitting all tower section of the MkV generation.
    • The interface frame allowing SPMT transport.
    • The anti-ovalization equipment at all tower sections.
    • The transport frame for the interface frame.
  • Structural verification of all UTTE parts, encompassing structural strength, fatigue, stiffness of anti-ovalization, load spreading and fastening for road and sea transport.
  • Cost-out evaluation with stakeholders.
  • Development and approval of design through DFMEA.
  • Test and approval of design and instructional handbook through FAT and SAT.
