Intensive planning is crucial to completing a project like this. Construction inspections and transport studies were necessary to make the project possible. Prangl was already able to impress during the planning phase. Most important was that all services, from transport to logistics, handling and crane technology would come from the same provider. In a demanding venture like this, avoiding the interaction of multiple teams can be critical for successful implementation.

All components were temporarily stored at a handling location in Stanz. This time, we had to fine a transfer point outside the town centre, as it was not possible to transport the individual components through the narrow parts of the town centre with “normal” transport units. The land around a saw mill was the ideal transfer point. Handling was entrusted to a 220-tonne telescopic crane and a 280-tonne crawler crane. Due to inclines of up to 17%, all components had to be transported on a heavy duty module (12 axles) in a shuttle system to the corresponding installation locations.

Because space was so tight, it was not always possible to store the system parts temporarily at the crane parking areas. Therefore components had to be delivered just in time. This required precise logistical coordination among all members of the Prangl team. The wind turbines were unloaded on the mountain and erected using a 650-tonne crawler crane and a 200-tonne telescopic crane. Additional transport units were also used for transfers between the wind turbines.
The project was finished on time and to the full satisfaction of all involved.
