Bardex, a global leader in products and engineering services that tackle marine-based challenges, is honored to be a Ventus Award finalist. The awards, in eleven categories, recognize and celebrate people and products that advance the feasibility and adoption of offshore wind and other ocean renewables. Bardex was selected as one of four finalists in the Health, Safety & Environment category for its proprietary OmniCrane, which, among its benefits, virtually eliminates the risk of at-height accidents.
The OmniCrane is a self-contained system that lifts and positions all of the components of a wind turbine generator, including tower sections, nacelle, hub, and blades. It allows for the assembly of the nacelle, hub, and two of the three blades over land, at quay level, thereby eliminating working over water, minimizing the number of heavy lifts, and reducing safety risks, assembly problems, and delays due to weather. Installation of the third blade is controlled by two points of contact as it is lifted vertically into the hub. The OmniCrane design is also flexible enough to lift the final blade horizontally if required by the OEM.
Pairing the OmniCrane with the Bardex OmniLift™ provides a stable platform for turbine integration, further eliminating over-water work, while
