Integrated Solutions from Hareket. A Seamless Operation from Transportation to Installation

As part of the Şule Wind Energy Project in Turkey, Hareket successfully carried out the

transportation and installation of wind turbines. This project, executed at an altitude

of 2,400 meters, in -25°C cold, and under challenging terrain conditions, was

completed with a seamless operation from transportation to installation.

During this major operation, we safely transported 11 sets of blades, each measuring

81 meters in length and weighing 84 tons, from Gemlik Port to the wind power plant

in Isparta’s Şarkikaraağaç district along a 454-kilometer route. To ensure a smooth

transit, we carefully planned and executed special bypass operations at bridges,

intersections, and narrow passages along the way.

A Seamless Operation from Transportation to InstallationDue to the blade length and generator tonnage, we successfully executed the heavy

lifting and installation of one of the largest wind turbine models installed in Turkey.

Thanks to the full coordination of our transportation, crane, and installation teams,

each turbine installation was completed in as little as 2.5 days.

To ensure a safe and efficient operation, we deployed a fleet of high-capacity cranes,

each carefully selected to meet the project’s unique challenges. A 650-ton crawler

crane provided the main lifting capacity, while a 250-ton telescopic boom crawler

crane enhanced flexibility and reach. Additionally, a 250-ton mobile crane, a 200-ton

mobile crane, and a 130-ton mobile crane were utilized for precise positioning and

support throughout the installation process.

The top priority in this project was to execute every step with a zero-error approach,

complete synchronization, and strong teamwork. Despite extreme weather

conditions, our teams & dedicated efforts ensured the installation process was

completed smoothly.
