Sarens is proud to support the development of the Witberg Wind Farm, a major renewable energy project located between Touws River and Laingsburg in South Africa\u2019s Western Cape. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Once operational in the first quarter of 2026, the wind farm will feature 24 V136-4.5 MW turbines and provide clean energy to over 122,000 households, while helping prevent the emission of approximately 420,792 tons of CO\u2082 annually. <\/p>\n

On behalf of logistics partner Kuehne+Nagel, Sarens was responsible for transporting all turbine components to the project site. In total, the 24 turbines\u2014comprising 216 loads\u2014represent a combined weight of over 391 tonnes. Sarens deployed 18 specialised transport combinations and 36 private escort vehicles to move the components from the Saldanha Laydown Area and the GRI tower factory in Atlantis. <\/p>\n

Due to challenging access conditions at the site, Sarens’ engineering team had to overcome a steep incline at the entrance. To ensure safe and efficient transport, an 8×8 truck was used to pull the components, as a standard 8×6 truck with ballast was not sufficient. In addition, a Gyro Table was employed to facilitate the transport of the blades, each measuring over 66 metres in length. <\/p>\n

The Witberg Wind Farm is being developed by Sibanye-Stillwater and operated by Red Rocket Energy. With a nominal capacity of 108 MW and a contracted power of 103 MW, it is set to become the largest privately built wind farm in South Africa. <\/p>\n

The project is expected to contribute to the region\u2019s energy security while supporting local employment during the construction phase. \u201cWe are proud to participate in projects of such importance to our country,\u201d says Christo van der Merwe, Depot Manager at Sarens in Cape Town. \u201cDespite the complex logistics and coordination with provincial authorities, all transport operations were executed safely and without incident thanks to the careful planning and expertise of our team. We thank Kuehne+Nagel for their trust and look forward to continuing our collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 25 years of experience in the wind energy sector, Sarens has supported the installation of more than 7.000 onshore wind turbines across 40 countries, contributing to over 25.000 MW of installed capacity worldwide. From steep inclines and sub-zero conditions to remote and rugged terrain, Sarens continues to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable engineered transport and heavy lifting solutions for wind projects around the globe.<\/p>\n
