Transport Analysis Transition Pieces – Geosea Hornsea 1

Offshore wind engineering scope

ALE was awarded a project to transport Transition Pieces (TPs). Conbit’s structural engineering and transport solutions expertise were requested to check whether and how the existing grillages should be adjusted to suit the TPs for the Geosea Hornsea 1 Project.

By Conbit designed X-Frames for transition piece transport.

The scope 

The TPs need to be transported via the River Tees from the manufacturer to the Able Port. For this project, ALE used two existing grillages to transport the transition pieces on one of their new barges. 

The Hornsea wind farm is the world’s largest offshore wind farm under development, located in the North Sea. 

This project shows the strength of the ALE–Conbit collaboration, as Conbit can provide its clients with the complete service package, from transport to engineering and stress checks. 

Structural analysis & detailed engineering 

Conbit conducted a structural analysis for both types of frames to verify the structural integrity. This included stress checks and local load introductions in the barge, TP, and the grillage.

Furthermore, Conbit provided detailed drawings of the grillage, including the adjustments needed to make the X- frames suitable for the TP transport. 

The X-frames was also used with the saddle for the monopile transport, then stored on sand bunds.
