LASO has successfully completed the transport of nine wind towers for the new San Cebrián wind farm, in Spain. This major operation involved more than 40 highly qualified professionals and took place between 10 July and 5 August 2024.

The transport of the wind towers entailed complex logistics, with different components being moved from multiple locations. The tubes that make up the towers were loaded in Aranda do Douro, while the wind blades were transported from Daimiel in Spain and Aveiro in Portugal. The rest of the tower components were also shipped from Aveiro.

The operation was carefully planned to ensure that all the components reached their final destination safely and on time. LASO, with its vast experience in large-scale projects, coordinated all the logistical aspects of this operation..

Moving such heavy and bulky components requires rigorous planning and the use of specialised equipment. LASO Transportes mobilised a team of more than 40 people, including heavy and light truck drivers, engineers, traffic managers and other professionals, to ensure the perfect execution of each stage of the transport.

The main challenges of this project were coordination between different points of origin, traffic management on public roads and the need to keep to a strict schedule so that all the components arrived at the San Cebrián wind farm on time. The equipment used was crucial here, specifically the Super Wing Carrier, used to transport the blades due to their size.

‘This project is an important milestone for LASO, not only due to the size and complexity of the transport, but also for its contribution to the growth of renewable energy infrastructure in Spain,’ shares the traffic manager who coordinated the entire operation. The new San Cebrián wind farm will be a significant step in the transition to more sustainable energy sources, and LASO is proud to have played a crucial role in its realisation.

The transport of these nine wind towers is a clear example of LASO Transportes’ ability to handle large-scale and highly complex projects, reaffirming its commitment to innovation, safety and sustainability in the special transport sector.
