Roxtec seals in wind farm cranes

Roxtec UK has agreed a major deal with specialist crane manufacturer Granada Material Handling (GMH) for work on the Gwynt y Mor offshore wind farm, which is under construction off the North Wales coast. Two Roxtec seal kits will be installed on each one of the 164 Granada Python Foundation Cranes - sealing multi-cable transit openings and thereby protecting the equipment.
The cranes will be installed on the foundation piece of the wind turbines and be used to load and unload materials and equipment. Cables will be sealed using Roxtec's stainless steel R-100 complete with a modified sleeve.
Graham O'Hare, Managing Director of Roxtec in the UK, says:
"We have worked closely alongside the GMH design team to develop a solution to comply with all safety requirements and compliment the overall project. Our product comes with an IP67 rating promising operational reliability. And, critically for this industry, it offers protection from dust ingress and immersion in water between 15cm and 1m depth."
