Bolt handling innovation challenge

G+ is being supported by Innovate UK to engage innovators to find solutions to mitigate potential health and safety incidents due to heavy lifting and manual handling challenges associated with bolt fixing activities in offshore wind.

Working with member Siemens Gamesa, installation technicians identified that if they could come up with an innovative solution for moving the bolts then it would reduce the manual handling.

All innovative ideas can be submitted here:

The challenge closes on 31st July and selected solution providers will get to present their concepts at the G+ Board and AGM in September. A big thanks to InnovateUK and SGRE for leading this challenge.
