4C is now TGS
We are excited to announce a significant milestone in 4C Offshore's journey. Our integration into the TGS family marks the beginning of a new era in offshore wind market intelligence.
Each of the Granada ‘Python’ crane units has been specifically designed for the Dudgeon offshore wind farm and the challenging marine environment in which it will operate. One ‘Python’ crane unit will be fitted to each of the 67 transition piece platforms . Mark Sidwell, director of Granada Material Handling Ltd, added: “We are extremely pleased to have been awarded another prestigious UK wind farm project. Securing this contract has been a real team effort by the Granada Renewable product and service division. The Dudgeon contract is not only great news for Granada but also for our Uk based supply chain. Granada has ambitious plans for this market sector and having supplied over 500 offshore davits is the Uk’s leading offshore wind farm davit crane supplier’’ “We are currently working with designers, wind farm developers and turbine manufacturers to further enhance the product range to ensure the very latest developments in lifting technology are made available to the rapidly expanding and ever developing offshore renewable market.” Granada Material Handling Ltd has been contracted to design, supply, third party certify, deliver, and commission 67 individual crane units. Each Python crane unit measures approximately 4 meters in height, 3.3 meters in radius, and weighs 1300kgs. The maximum lifting capacity of 1000kgs is needed to hoist the heavier serviceable components from the supply vessel to the laydown area on the platforms of the transition piece platform. The crane units have been specifically designed with an emphasis on health & safety and the operator’s needs, and are a unique design to Granada Material Handling The company is already now looking to place orders and sub-contract specialist areas of work to other Uk businesses, and will deliver the crane units over an 8 month period.
