Global Wind Day 2018

Engineering Our Future

As we eat our way through natural resources, our ever increasing hunger for power has to be fed.

One of the most significant developments of recent years has been the size and efficiency and installation methods used for wind farms. Global Wind Day 15th June (#GlobalWindDay) as defined by GlobalWindDay.org seeks to highlight and celebrate these successes.

Walney Wind Turbine

Local Engineering Feat

Here at 3SL towers, we’re only a stones throw away from one of the world’s largest offshore wind-farms. Situated 15 Km off the coast it’s a great example of large scale engineering. Walney 1 and Walney 2 farms have a combined capacity of 367MW. Over 100 turbines in depths of water of around 20m it was quite an undertaking. Undersea cables bring the power ashore across Morecambe Bay towards Heysham.

Planning Large Projects

There are so many aspects to consider when planning a project. The more complex and the greater the importance of good requirements management. However, that’s not to say that you don’t need to manage requirements for small projects. This is why we believe it is important to offer the same functionality for single users all the way to full enterprise deployments. So whether you are planning a small scale windmill atop your holiday cottage, or a grand scale farm, Cradle could be the tool for you.
