Heavy transport for wind power stops traffic on B32 - chaos in Ravensburg!
Heavy transport for wind power stops traffic on B32 - chaos in Ravensburg!
A heavy transporter that transported a 35 -ton and 84 meter long rotor leaf for wind turbines came from the B32 on Wednesday morning near Altshausen in the district of Ravensburg. The incident led to a blocking of the main road for about five hours, such as swr reported. An excavator lifted the rear steering axis of the almost 100 meter long transport and put it back on the street while a second vehicle secured the campaign with steel chains. The damage incurred is estimated on a five -digit amount.
The transport was part of a convoy that was supposed to deliver three rotor blades for the new "Wagenhart" wind farm north of Hoßkirch overnight. In order to enable such heavy transports, traffic lights have to be turned, guardrails removed and traffic islands temporarily changed. About three weeks ago, a similar incident occurred in the region when a heavy transport at Weingarten got stuck in a curve when turning.
Problems with wind turbines
The longer rotor blades had experienced a considerable deflection during the transport, which led to this cancellation decision. In order to avoid damage to the asphalt and rotor leaf, the van was placed on the side. A crane is planned for the next trip in order to be able to better control the deflection. Transport is currently at the end of the dead end and does not hinder traffic, but transport still requires careful planning.
challenges for wind power expansion
The complicated heavy transports slow the expansion of wind power in Germany, report experts in Manager Magazin . Technical predictions to bend rotor blades are a challenge because they depend heavily. The next transport date for the wind turbine components in the Völklingen harbor depends on the weather because strong wind was forecast for Tuesday evening.
These incidents illustrate the logistical difficulties associated with the transport of wind turbines and how strongly they can influence the progress of renewable energies.
