Application
Sulzon Wind turbine base tensioning
Original Set-Up
Jacking cylinders with a plate used to tension bolts.
Issues Experienced
- very time consuming
- very tight fitment of tools
- Torque can be used due to torsional stresses
Technofast Product Used
Specially designed B3S EziJac
Benefits
- Easy installation and handling
- Precise bolt loads obtainable
- local support and training available for tooling
Installation Time
Old Method = 24hours (5-6 personnel)
New Method = 6 hours (3-4 personnel)
Time Saving = 18 hours
Many improvements to Steel Products
Using EziJacs around the base meant that we could tension multiple bolts at once which saved a lot of time. We are also able to get an accurate bolt load, which previously we have not been able to achieve.
