The Dhaka Times Desk Generally, various industries transport large and heavy machinery from one place to another by dividing it into smaller parts. But a turbine blade cannot be divided. Moreover, if it is 300 feet long, how can it be transported? Let's find out how this impossible became possible.
A turbine is a rotating machine especially used for generating electricity. At 300 feet long, it is a monstrous machine. Two carriages are used to transport it. The two ends of the turbine are connected to two cars. Two cars move together to maintain its balance. Every turn had to be turned through perfect calculations. The matter is like a nightmare, just thinking about it.
Worse still, the turbine was transported from Denmark to Scotland. The world's largest wind turbine is being built off the coast of Methil, Scotland. As part of this, turbines manufactured in Denmark have been transported there.
Many international borders have to be crossed while traveling this long distance. Engineers had to be very careful along the way. It has to use various logistics and equipment prescribed by the company.
Samsung Heavy Industries is building a 7 MW site off the coast of Methil, Scotland. The turbine blade is moved there. Think what perfect planning and driver skill can do.
