Three companies, including Mammoet, have been appointed as key subcontractors for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project.
SeAH Wind has announced that Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering will be supporting with operational and logistical services within the 120-acre site on the South Bank of Teesworks.
Commercial production for the project is set to begin in the coming months.
SeAH Wind will be supplying the monopile foundations for the offshore wind farm, located approximately 120km off the Norfolk Coast in the North Sea.
Once completed, it will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
Chris Sohn, SeAH Wind CEO, said: “At SeAH Wind, we are excited to partner with Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering for the Hornsea 3 project.
“These strategic appointments reflect our commitment to delivering market-leading XXXL monopiles.
“With these trusted partners, we are confident that we will meet our project goals while upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.”
Mammoet has been chosen to provide self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) within the SeAH Wind facility.
Their responsibility includes the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles.
Through Mammoet’s knowledge in heavy transport solutions in offshore wind site logistics, SeAH Wind aims to ensure a seamless and efficient movement of monopiles, minimising downtime and improving overall production efficiency.
Mr Watson, Mammoet sales manager, said: “We are delighted to be helping SeAH Wind to deliver the future of offshore wind foundations by providing marshalling capabilities that are constantly at the cutting edge of what can be lifted and transported.”
Glacier Energy will carry out non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards.
Their rigorous NDT inspections will enhance the reliability and durability of the monopiles, ensuring they meet both Ørsted’s stringent standards and international offshore wind regulations.
Mr Martin, Glacier Energy group CEO, said: “We are proud to be supporting SeAH Wind with NDT services for the Hornsea 3 project, marking a significant milestone for Glacier Energy.
“This collaboration builds on our strong heritage of supporting wind foundation manufacturers and reinforces our commitment to the North East of England’s growth.”
Hutchinson Engineering will supply secondary steel components for the Hornsea 3 project.
SeAH Wind sought a UK-based company capable of delivering these complex parts in compliance with stringent Ørsted drawings and specifications.
Steve Adams, Hutchinson Engineering managing director, said: “Hutchinson is delighted to have been awarded the Secondary Steel contract by SeAH Wind.
“This success demonstrates our continued growth and proven expertise in supplying steel structures and products to the Offshore sector, reinforcing our growth strategy and highlighting the business gains achieved through the OWGP business improvement programme.”
