No,the crane driver was telling us that an enercon is 3-4 day build because of grout etc,no grouting on an EWT,first EWT site crane driver has worked on and he said he was very impressed by them.

There is a load more components to lift for Enercon, don't think grouting delays by much as they use the time to pre assemble Rotor.
I have seen the EWTs and it still amazes me how they work with so little electrical equipment in them. The Enercon is full of control cabinets which take up a large part of the first floor
 
Turbine was put up yesterday in not ideal conditions but the EWT team and crane boys were terrific,towers arrived onsite at 9.00am,turbine finished at 8.00pm after a 2 hr stop in the afternoon because of high winds,can't praise them enough and amazing to watch.View attachment 131778 View attachment 131780 View attachment 131782 View attachment 131784 View attachment 131786 View attachment 131788 View attachment 131790 View attachment 131792 View attachment 131794

Well done! Civils works look to have been done to a high standard. Who is the BOP contractor?

Who else thought the last photo reminded them of Dingle Brothers turbine down at Bodmin in Cornwall that went up in the dark?!!!!

Looks a grand job and very quickly installed.

Yes Locogen did,but we made the final decisions on which contractors to use.
Congratulations. I have just logged into this thread and thumbed through it all with great interest. Well done, it looks very impressive. We have one exactly the same less than a mile from here and it looks fantastic. I am sure you will be pleased with it and I hope the wind blows you loads a money !!! I will keep my eye out for further posts. Brilliant.
