Antaeus Ultralift possesses extensive expertise in transport and installation engineering services for both offshore and onshore wind energy projects. Our scope of work spans from bespoke equipment design to rapid-response assessments and engineering solutions for operational challenges encountered during installations. Notable tasks include:

• Engineering design and analysis for lifting, rigging, and load handling operations.
• Pile-driving procedure development and structural analysis.
• Inspection and rectification engineering for misaligned flange connections on large offshore monopiles.
• Impact analysis and structural evaluation following vessel contact with newly installed monopiles.
• Design of steel cradle systems for the horizontal transport of large transition piece (TP) sections.
• Engineering of steel seafastening and deck securing solutions for nacelles and vertically positioned TPs.
• Development of hydraulic piston systems for alignment and levelling of monopile/transition piece connections.
• Blade stack transportation secured using twist-locks and wire restraint systems.
• Refurbishment of onshore 150-ton tower transport vehicles, including structural reinforcements, node fatigue analysis based on strain gauge response, design of repair strategies, supervision of yard works, and bolt tensioning procedures.
• Technical support for diver teams during installations, including gap assessments, bolt alignment, and tensioning tasks.

Key equipment and engineering designs by Antaeus-Ultralift include:

• Custom turner tool design for offshore wind turbine blade installation (mechanical and hydraulic systems).
• Scour risk assessment, protective design solutions, and repair methodology.
• Engineering and procedural support for suction bucket foundation installations.
• Pull-in force analysis, seabed stability assessments, and burial techniques for offshore cables.
• Cable installation solutions including rectification methods, CPS integration, diver tools, and long-term repair kits.
• Offshore procedure development and integration testing for installed components.
• Design support for blade manufacturers, including structural mould reinforcement and onshore transport systems.
• Lifting and handling analysis for blades, and harbour-based crane boom change-out support.
