FROM WATER TO WIND POWER
Back in 1967 there was nothing but water – today there is the city of Lelystad with 75,000 inhabitants. In February 2016 there weren’t any 4 MW wind power turbines here – today Lelystad has the newest Enercon prototype E-126 EP4.
Since the company was not established until 2011, BMS Krane has nothing to do with the foundation of Lelystad, a city built on reclaimed land on the seabed of the former Zuiderzee in The Netherlands. However, the German division of the BMS Group had quite a lot to do with the new Enercon installations, as the company helped erect the concrete towers as well as the turbines for the first model from the new 4-MW platform.
While BMS Krane used a Liebherr LG1750 lattice boom mobile crane for the job at Lelystad, another of the company’s crawler cranes worked at Hallschlag in Germany. Here – close to the border between Germany and Luxembourg – BMS Krane helped erect concrete towers and turbines for another Enercon installation. Simultaneously a third crane started in Heinzenbach with concrete tower and turbine erection – and then moved on to work at Weißenfels, located approximately 30 km south of Halle.

Further Enercon projects in Germany has been carried out on locations such as Gagel, Güstow, Holzhausen, and Rüssen – and BMS Krane was contracted for supplying Enercon with two crawler cranes for all of 2017.
The German wind turbine manufacturer Enercon was founded some 30 years ago. The first 55 kW wind turbine was developed in 1984 – and most recently the company has introduced a 4 MW platform, combining innovative technology and intelligent modular design for more efficiency and reliability. Today, Enercon has more than 37 per cent of the market in Germany and on a global basis the market share is more than five per cent, making Enercon the sixth largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world.
