This document provides information about the WindLift conference on wind turbine installation for onshore and offshore projects. It summarizes the key topics and speakers for each day of the conference: Day 1 focuses on onshore installation and will discuss improving strategies and lifting methods, assessing road and transport needs, and determining crane requirements for various onshore projects. Day 2 focuses on offshore installation and will cover strategies, port facilities, lifting components onto vessels, and crane needs for larger offshore projects. Both days will include case studies from major turbine manufacturers. The conference aims to provide practical information to help make installation safer, more efficient, and on budget.

2. WindLift Onshore
27 November 2012
Heavy lift safety, equipment, engineering & transportation are critical in speeding up wind turbine installation & effective project
management. Attend WindLift Onshore to get the practical information you need to apply to your onshore installation operations.
Hear in-the-field experience from international experts on:
• Improving your installation strategies & lifting methods for smooth onshore construction
• Making better informed decisions about road needs to ensure easier transport of cranes & components
• What cranes will be needed for future onshore projects on a variety of sites facing different wind speeds
• Making high-risk blade installation less hazardous
PLUS! Exclusive Nordex case study: Lessons learned & the latest on-the-ground experience from Nordex around the key areas of strategy,
equipment & health & safety choices.

WindLift Offshore
28 November 2012
Delays to wind turbine installation due to equipment issues or bad weather impact heavily on project timelines & costs. On the other
hand, the importance of safety in lifting operations is critical.
Attend WindLift Offshore to gain insight into the best-practice installation approaches to ensure operations are on budget, on time & as
safe as possible.
Key areas to be covered include:
• Assessing your offshore installation strategies & lifting methods & improving contractor interfaces
• Determining what port facilities you will need for efficient quayside operations
• Assessing the lifting requirements for getting components onto vessels from the shore
• What cranes will be needed for future offshore projects with larger components at far-offshore & deep water sites
PLUS! Exclusive Siemens case study: Siemens share their experience of installing thousands of turbines offshore, highlight the bottlenecks
they have seen & share what they see as the key future challenges.
