Eneco uses special beach vehicles for Maasvlakte 2 Wind Farm maintenance

At the end of 2022, the construction of the Maasvlakte 2 Wind Farm was completed. Of the 22 wind turbines, 12 are located on the beach at Maasvlakte 2, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. To carry out maintenance on these turbines, which are partly in the water, Eneco developed special beach vehicles.

Windpark Maasvlakte 2, with a total capacity of 116.7 MW, was realized by Eneco on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat, the executive agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. The wind farm comprises 12 wind turbines on the soft seawall (on the beach) and 10 wind turbines on the hard seawall.

To carry out maintenance on the turbines, which are partly in the water, Eneco developed special beach vehicles. In a video (Dutch), Eneco explains that one of the vehicles is actually a snow grooming vehicle used in the mountains of Austria.

This vehicle was adapted to be used on the beach of Maasvlakte 2 so that personnel can be dropped off at the wind turbines under all conditions to perform maintenance, for example. The vehicle was built by Waterking.
