Upgrade of Multi Blade Installers to accomodate new Generation of Wind Turbine Blades

In a move that reflects the growing trend of sustainability in the wind energy sector, Seasight Solutions is embarking on a project to upgrade Multi Blade Installers (MBIs).

Originally constructed to handle blades weighing up to 16 tons, these MBIs are being retrofitted to accommodate the new generation of heavier wind turbine blades, capable of reaching up to 29 tons – thus extending their lifespan considerably.

Extending the life of existing equipment

With a production count exceeding 340 units, this upgrade of existing blade grippers underscores our commitment to advancing renewable energy technologies. The initiative is not just about keeping pace with the increasing size of wind turbines; it’s a testament to our commitment to recycling and sustainability.

Instead of building entirely new installers, we have chosen to adapt and extend the life of existing equipment. This approach not only conserves resources but also reduces waste, aligning with global efforts to promote a more circular economy in the wind energy industry.

Innovation and sustainablily can go hand-in-hand

The upgraded MBIs will ensure that Seasight Solutions remains at the forefront of the wind energy market, ready to meet the demands of installing the next generation of colossal wind turbine blades, while also playing a role in the movement towards more sustainable industrial practices.

By upgrading the MBIs, Seasight Solutions A/S is setting a precedent for the rest of the industry, demonstrating that innovation can go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility. This strategic decision not only enhances the operational capabilities of the equipment but also showcases our dedication to a greener future.

Seasight Solutions first introduced the blade gripper in 2013, designed specifically for the V112 (16 tons). With the recent upgrade to 29 tons, it now boasts the capacity to handle the V172, solidifying its position as the versatile lifting yoke capable of accommodating a wide range of blade sizes – from the V90 to the V172.
