Cranes in Wind 2025

The recent CICA Wind Forum held on 19 February 2025 in Melbourne brought together over 120 industry professionals for a highly beneficial day of discussion, knowledge-sharing, and networking. The event provided a comprehensive look into the evolving wind energy landscape, covering global trends, transportation challenges, crane technology, and the importance of early collaboration among stakeholders.

Nick Morris provided a broad overview of the Australian wind turbine market, providing context on Wind Turbine Generators (WTG’s) and that maintenance on wind farms is shaping up to be a very sizeable market.  He also covered the crucial role cranes play in this space.  A copy of Nick's paper can be downloaded here.

Planning is underway for the 2026 Wind Forum, so keep an eye on the CICA Socials.
