ABNORMAL LOADS

13th March 2020

     

Font size: - +

The transportation of the turbine components for two of the largest wind farms currently under construction in South Africa – Perdekraal East and Kangnas – was officially completed in late February. In all, more than 1 000 abnormal loads were undertaken, with the trucks moving components with a combined weight of 55000 t. Pictured above is one of those abnormal loads making its way to the Kangnas Wind Farm site, located just outside the town of Springbok on South Africa’s West Coast. The 140 MW project was selected during the much-delayed fourth bid window of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme. Bidding under the long-awaited fifth bid window is expected to take place as soon as the regulator approves the Ministerial Determination that opens the way for the implementation of the 2019 edition of the Integrated Resource Plan.
