> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Collett Consulting route access surveys take into account horizontal and vertical alignments, weight and dimensional issues across all types of roads, structures and environments. Used extensively for heavy transport, abnormal loads and wind turbine components, Collett Consulting's detailed route access surveys provide in-depth route analysis to identify the most suitable delivery path. Our route access surveys provide an outlined analysis of how your project, cargo or components will be delivered to their destination. With wind turbine blades increasing in size and the development of new equipment to facilitate heavy transport, it's imperative that delivery routes from port to pad site are surveyed in their entirety for any restrictions that could impact on delivery.

> Click on the "WEBSITE" link for more > Once our Transport Consulting Team have completed the preliminary planning for your heavy transport project, a test drive of the proposed abnormal load route can be undertaken. Used for wind turbine components and abnormal loads, these heavy transport test drives provide a detailed route analysis to show areas where route modifications are required to enable the passage of the proposed vehicle and load. The loaded vehicles simulate the correct dimensions of the abnormal loads, as would be required for the actual movement and any projections either in length, width or height are assembled to the trailer. All projections are designed to allow for easy modifications and reduction in size if required whilst on the public roads, this allows for quicker and smoother manoeuvrability reducing the impact on other road users.

Our continual investment in our fleet ensures that we have the best equipment to facilitate the transport of any cargo, from Super Wing Carriers specifically designed for the transport of wind turbine blades, through to specialist hydraulic Jacking & Skidding equipment.

Fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads. It is the progressive and localised structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading. If the loads are above a certain threshold, microscopic cracks will begin to form. Eventually a crack will reach a critical size, and the structure will fracture. Abfad’s Weld Seam Monitoring System monitors a structures vital welds and acts as an early warning indicator, allowing operators to investigate before a catastrophic failure of the structure occurs. Any structure which suffers the potential for stress and fatigue will benefit from Weld Seam Monitoring. This could be wind turbines, bridges, pressure vessel external welds, and any structure that is subjected to cyclic loading.

Abfad Ltd supply multi-discipline trade experienced rope access personnel for working at height in all industries where conventional access is impractical or simply not possible. IRATA approved rope access services such as inspection, repair/maintenance, blasting and coating, along with many other rope access services. Abfad Ltd supply rope access personnel with the ability to perform work to the required specification. Abfad’s safety supervisors are trained to the highest standards and will ensure risk assessments and method statements are provided and implemented for all work tasks. Abfad personnel work within Chemical Storage Depots, Power Stations, Refineries, Shipyards, Construction and heavy industry sites, Oil & Gas Upstream (Offshore) and Downstream (Fuel Forecourts), Wind Turbine and Renewable Energy Farms, etc. performing specialist high risk activities such as working at height and confined space storage tank protection.

UK based Lean Manufacturing Consulting. Want to learn how you can deliver work On-Time, Every Time? Want to discover how you can increase your output by 40? Levantar deliver Lean Manufacturing Consulting across the UK. Our clients have rapidly improved their On Time delivery. They've then discovered that they could grow and some have seen revenues grow by 30% or more. We've been trained to Masters level in Manufacturing Management and worked in sectors from chilled foods (high volume, short lead times, automated) through machining and machinery assembly (small volume, longer lead times, high manual work) through to wind turbines (very small numbers, long lead times, very manual) We've trained over 2,750 people via our annual work with Leeds University Business School and written for Cambridge University on Lean Management.
