RTS were contracted to complete a major overhaul of the telemetry equipment system to ensure that the MET tower could continue to provide valuable accurate data collection. The work entailed stripping the entire structure of all equipment and associated steelwork and replacing with up rated equipment booms.

Due to the site location and to control costs all works were completed manually by hand with RTS having to utilize their expertise to ensure all heavy steelwork was lifted and secured both safely and accurately to ensure that the entire installation conformed with IEC regulations.

The Thanet Offshore Wind Farm project is the largest operational offshore wind farm anywhere in the world. Located approximately 12 km off Foreness Point, the most eastern part of Kent, Thanet will make a significant contribution to the Government’s national and regional renewable energy targets.

RTS is delighted to have been involved in the project. We were contracted to build, erect and install the related meteorological masts needed to work alongside the 100 turbines, monitoring the weather and providing accurate data that will help the overall long-term success of this offshore wind farm.

The client hired RTS International to project manage the installation and erection of six new wind turbines at a wind farm in Cornwall. The new turbines were needed to replace 14 existing turbines on-site that were no longer in use. With complete ownership over the 10-week project, RTS engineers and project managers worked 7 days a week to achieve the completion deadline. 

The project was brought in on time, within budget and without issue and the final testing and repower took place soon after.
