Avanti Wind Systems has just supplied service lifts and ladder fall safety equipment for five new 2MW wind turbine towers in Uruguay.
The new turbine towers, which are 67 meters high, have Avanti Service
Lifts. The lifts which have room for two technicians and their
equipment runs in a wire system independently of the ladder. The Avanti
Fall Protection System has also been installed in the five new towers.
The new wind farm in Cerro de los Caracoles is located just a few miles
from the sea on the top of a hill in the otherwise relatively flat
Uruguayan landscape. This is the country’s second wind farm. But the
director of the state-owned electricity company UTE, Beto Ruchansky,
has told that a further 20 similar projects are in the development
stage, and that he expects five of them to be installed in the course
of the next 18 months.
