In 2014, the Wood Pellet Association of Canada established the WPAC safety committee as a forum for industry participants to share knowledge and to work collectively on solving common safety concerns such as combustible dust management, safe-guarding, working in confined spaces and lock-out procedures.

  • Demag PC 6800-1 Lifts Foundation Piles For Windfarm

    Unique operating conditions require unique approaches – this phrase perfectly sums up the project currently being carried out by crane service provider Sarens NV with a Demag® PC 6800‑1 pedestal crane. The job, which involves a whole series of challenges, consists of lifting 89 steel piles from a barge on The IJsselmeer on behalf of customer Van Oord Offshore Wind.

    The first challenge revolves around the platform from which the crane is doing its work: More specifically, all the lifts are being carried out from a barge on open water. “And since the IJsselmeer is very shallow, this meant that we had to build a special barge that would have a small draft thanks to its dimensions of 62 x 53 meters. This is how we were able to make sure that the work platform would not run aground,” reports Sarens project manager Mart van Hoorn. With its dimensions, the platform is roughly half the size of a soccer field, and has been as such baptized the “Sarens Soccer Pitch” (SSP) internally.
