  • Solar Tower Ouarzazate, Morocco

Solar Tower Ouarzazate, Morocco
Power plant construction

CustomerSepco III
Construction
10/2016–06/2017
The power plant
The Ouarzazate power plant (also called the Noor power plant) is a concentrated solar power plant in southern Morocco, approximately 10 kilometres north east of the city, Ouarzazate. As the first of five solar power stations in Morocco, contributing total power of 2,000 MW by 2020, it consists of four facilities: Noor 1 and 2 are parabolic trough solar power stations, Noor 3 is a solar tower power plant and Noor 4 is planned as a solar / photovoltaic park. Noor 1 has been in operation since February 2016.
On the site near Ouarzazate the annual solar radiation measures approx. 2,500 kWh/m², one of the highest worldwide.

The brief
Solar tower power plants combine several thousand mirrors placed in several circles around the tower that reflect the sunlight to the top of the solar tower. An absorber that gathers the sun’s energy is installed there. In order for the mirrors to capture the sunlight well, they must be placed as flat as possible. The light is then radiated at a relatively steep angle. This is why the tower must be very high. The task of our crane was to place the absorber at the top of the tower.

The implementation
The WT 2405 e.tronic was stabilised to the concrete tower with 4 stays and erected by climbing to a working height of 235.35 to 275.25 m. This crane can still lift 96 t at a radius of 6 to 20.5 m. This was indeed necessary here as the heaviest steel component weighed in at 90 t. At a radius of 36.5 m, the crane still has a lifting capacity of 36.5 t.

WT 260 e.tronic at the replacement of a central bridge in Magdeburg

Replacement Bridge Strombrückenzug, Magdeburg (DE)

Our allrounder crane WT 260 e.tronic works at the central pylon of the bridge that is going to cross the Zollelbe and the Alte Elbe in Magdeburg. With its fast work speeds it is ensuring that everything works smoothly on the builiding site.

Police Headquarters Osthessen, Offenbach (DE)

A new era is dawning for the police in Osthessen. Five WT 650 e.tronic are needed to span the major construction site of the new headquarters that will house 11 departments and 900 officers.

Expansion of Utrecht University

On the grounds of Utrecht University, two WT 335L e.tronic and a WT 555L e.tronic are working on an 18 storey building specially designed to be low vibration.

Specialised Crane at Grand Tower, Frankfurt

At Grand Tower in Frankfurt, the facade and the balconies/loggias are attached currently. This task was taken on by a WILBERT specialised crane mounted on the roof of the building.

JaBee Tower, Dübendorf (CH)

The highest residential tower in Switzerland is being built in Dübendorf near Zurich. Five commercial premises on the ground floor and 218 rental apartments are distributed over a tower height of 100 m. Due to the proximity to the airport, the crane was dismantled at night after the suspension of flight operations.

Deconstruction of Deutsche Bank IBCF, Frankfurt

On the former Deutsche Bank site, the old buildings had to make room for a building complex of four high-rise towers, the Quartier Four, that is planned to be completed in 2023.

Marienturm, Frankfurt

The construction progress of the Marienturm, a new office tower in Frankfurt's banking district, can be viewed live via webcam. Two WT 335L e.tronic cranes from our rental fleet are involved in this project.
WILBERT Laufkatzkrane auf der Baustelle des HRW-Campus

Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences, Mülheim

HWR’s new campus was built on an area of approx. 40,000 m² between September 2012 and December 2015. Four WILBERT trolley cranes were used: 3× WT 200 e.tronic and 1× WT 320 e.tronic.

REA Turow, Bogatynia (PL)

Here, the task of the WT 2405L e.tronic was the chimney modernisation in a densely built-up area: The existing filters had to be replaced by new, better performing filters at dizzying heights. The crane was assembled at a low height and then erected by crawling for this purpose.
Zwei WT 200 e.tronic und WT 150 e.tronic an der Wohnanlage Feuerbachtraße

Housing Development Feuerbachstraße, Frankfurt

A residential complex comprising 126 luxury apartments and an underground garage with 220 parking spaces was built in Feuerbachstraße in Frankfurt. Construction was completed in 2015. Four WILBERT cranes were used: 2× WT 150 e.tronics and 2× WT 200 e.tronics.
Mehrere WILBERT Krane an der neuen OpernTurm Baustelle

OpernTurm, Frankfurt

The 170m skyscraper was completed in spring 2016 and comprises an impressive 62,500 m² of usable space on 42 storeys. During the construction phase, two WT 300 e.tronics and one WT 205L e.tronic were used.
Getreidesilo im Hafen von Brake

Grain Storage Silos, Brake

38 honeycomb-shaped silos in total measuring 61 m in length, 22 m in width and 83 m in height were erected in the port of Brake, Germany, by a WT 200 e.tronic and a WT 300 e.tronic using the slip-form method.
Mehrere WILBERT Krane am Alpha Rotex im Frankfurter Gateway Garden

Alpha Rotex in Gateway Gardens, Frankfurt

At 66 m and 16 storeys, Alpha Rotex is the tallest building right at the airport. A WT 300 e.tronic, a WT 200 e.tronic and a WT 180 were involved. A height limit had to be observed due to the building’s proximity to the airport.
