Silvasti Erects First Turbine at Pahkakoski Wind Farm with Seasight Solutions’ APS

Silvasti has successfully erected the first wind turbine in their inaugural Transport, Cranes and Installation (TCI) project at the Pahkakoski Wind Farm in Finland, utilizing the Autonomous Positioning System (APS) from Seasight Solutions.

This ambitious project involves constructing 30 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) in Northern Finland, marking a significant milestone for Silvasti as an OEM subcontractor in the renewable energy sector.

“Having the APS system for this project has been beneficial by entailing less time standing still due to wind conditions and working more safely with lifting of the blades,” says Azade Pierroff, Commercial Director at Silvasti.

Commencing in August, the project has been progressing smoothly, recently achieving a pivotal milestone with the successful erection and mechanical completion of the first wind turbine. This achievement underscores the excellent collaboration and meticulous planning between all parties involved.

Anders Karlsson, Head of Sales at Seasight Solutions, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “From the start, it has been easy to work with Silvasti, from first contact through production, delivery, training, and handover of the Autonomous Positioning System. We are pleased to have left the APS in good hands and look forward to following Silvasti’s journey in the wind turbine installation market, where they will help make installations safer and more efficient.”

Silvasti’s innovative delivery and lifting plan has optimized hardstand areas and site roads, significantly reducing the environmental footprint and project costs. This approach highlights Silvasti’s commitment to sustainability and efficiency in large-scale renewable energy projects.

As the project continues on schedule, Seasight Solutions remains confident in Silvasti’s ability to deliver outstanding results. This collaboration showcases the potential for future projects that contribute to a greener and more sustainable energy landscape.
