RESCUE UP
90 min. Helicopter transport becomes increasingly important for the offshore wind industry. Without the dependency on helicopters for emergency transport, the evacuation route will always be towards the base of the tower. However, emergency evacuation by helicopter transport from a hoisting platform, requires the rescue team to bring the injured person up to the helicopter hoisting platform, rather than to the base of the tower. The lesson is also relevant for structures with a considerable basement structure and transition piece. Standard evacuation equipment and techniques might not always be suitable for excessive distances rescue up from inside these locations.
