Medgidia Wind Farm
6
Wind Turbine Generators
We began with a comprehensive route survey to ensure the safe and efficient transport of these oversized components. Our experts meticulously planned every detail, from navigating narrow roads to securing necessary permits. The journey started at Constanta Port, where the wind turbine generators were temporarily stored before being transported to their final destination.
Our team managed the entire process, from initial planning to final delivery, ensuring that the wind turbine generators were installed efficiently and on time.

Temporary
Storage
Throughout the project, we provided temporary storage solutions to accommodate the logistics schedule, ensuring that all components were safely stored until they were needed on-site.
Handling customs clearance was a seamless process, thanks to our experienced team who ensured all documentation was in order.
Road transport
The road transport was executed with strict compliance to the method statement, prioritizing safety at every stage. Our 8x4 TGX MAN trucks and Goldhofer BladeS trailers were used for transporting wind turbine blades, while tower segments were moved with 8x4 TGX MAN trucks equipped with either Goldhofer RA2 tower adapters or Goldhofer Arcus semitrailers. Additionally, Faymonville and Nooteboom extendable trailers were employed for other components.
By opting for configurations that minimized fuel consumption and choosing the shortest possible route, we successfully reduced CO2 emissions and optimized transportation costs.
The novelty of this wind farm lies in it being the only wind energy investment in Romania in 2004, made by an electricity consumer rather than an investor. This wind farm, located near a cement factory, is expected to cover up to 40% of local electricity consumption.
Although not yet connected to the national grid, its production is used exclusively on-site. Romcim aims to connect to the grid to supply other CRH group plants in Romania, but approval from Transelectrica is pending due to existing energy evacuation issues in Dobrogea.
If successful, Romcim plans to add more turbines at Medgidia to support their energy needs, driven by high market electricity prices.
