A very exciting day today: The turbine and tower arrived this morning all packed up on an articulated lorry. A bit of a problem occurred in that we had been lead to believe that we could unload it all with the farm’s telescopic loader. This was completely impossible in that the various components had to be lifted out through the roof of the vehicle, so there was a delay of several hours while we located a crane. Fortunately there was one working not too far away so by 5 pm all the components had been unloaded safely and the control cabinet put away in the dry. The tower was in three sections, the two blades were packed inside one of the tower sections, and the generator and gearbox unit was wedged on top of the tower sections in the lorry. It has also to be said that the quality of some of the pallets that the equipment was secured to, left something to be desired. Now all we have to do is install it on its concrete pad and connect it to the mains.
