WINNER: Sarens
Sarens handled massive Transition Pieces (750t each) and Monopiles (1,500t each) for the He Dreiht Offshore Wind Park in the Netherlands while managing complex client interfaces. They operated 24/7 and used high performance cranes, including LR12500-1.0 and CC9800. Sarens’ in-house 750t TP Handler enhanced efficiency and played a crucial role in maintaining the schedule.
FINALIST: Autovictor Srl
For the restoration of the “Ponte dell’Industria”, a historic bridge built in 1863 over the Tevere River in Rome, the bridge deck was removed in three pieces. To handle the heavy and delicate historic structures, Autovictor used a Tadano TC2800-1 crane and precise lifting and rigging techniques.
FINALIST: Somalev Cranes & Logistics
Somalev safely exchanged damaged wind turbine blades at Morocco’s remote Dakhla Wind Farm using specialized rigging techniques and comprehensive risk assessments. A 750-tonne Liebherr LR1750 crawler crane with a 145m main boom and a 400-tonne Liebherr LTM1400-7.1 mobile crane with an 84m luffing jib handled this complex lifting operation.
