[March 2024] Hexis Training Crane Training Collaboration With Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore Ltd.

Hexis Training recently hosted Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore Ltd. for a comprehensive Compact Crane User Training at our cutting-edge facility in Suffolk.

 

The course delved deep into the world of compact cranes, covering a range of crucial topics such as safety pre-user checks, legislation & regulations, safety guidelines, load charts, and common hazards. Our aim was to equip delegates with a holistic understanding of these powerful tools, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve in terms of safety and compliance.

 

Upon completion, delegates undertook both theoretical and practical assessments, putting their newfound knowledge to the test. The hands-on experience included utilising the Hexis hydraulic crane and electric davit crane, enabling them to apply their skills in a real-world setting.

 

“We were really impressed with the response from Hexis to accommodate our training needs at such short notice. We are very lucky to have access to high quality training providers like Hexis in the East of England to support the demands of the offshore wind industry’s current project pipelines.” – Rosie Beevor, Country Manager for Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore Ltd.

We are excited to announce that Hexis Training are the first and only company approved to deliver this newly created, industry specific and fully accredited course for statutory inspection and maintenance on wind farm support systems. From pioneering the standards alongside a working group of industry experts, we are proud to be in the position to finally be able to make a positive impact on the industry from the comfort of our state-of-the-art facility based in East Coast College in Lowestoft.

 

“The ECITB statutory inspection standards have been specifically developed for the offshore wind sector in response to operational concerns about standards of competence in the field. In their development, experts from across the sector have come together to produce a comprehensive framework which will raise the standard of competency in the field, providing assurance to inspection providers and operators alike.” – John Brooke, Cohort Member.

 

“From what was an initial idea in Stowen’s board room, this journey of not only approval, but pioneering this suite of standards alongside industry experts has been a challenge but also a privilege to be part of. Offshore wind inspection technicians can now be trained to a level not only recognised by the industry, but designed by the industry.” – Kieron Ford, Managing Director (Renewables), Stowen Clean Energy.
