SeAH Wind has announced the appointment of Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering as key subcontractors for its Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm project in the U.K. The project is set to begin commercial production in the coming months, and these subcontractors have been selected to provide operational and logistical services for the 120-acre site located on the South Bank of Teesworks.
SeAH Wind is set to supply the monopile foundations for Ørsted’s 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, located approximately 120 km off the Norfolk Coast in the North Sea. The collaboration with these industry-leading subcontractors marks a significant step forward in the development of this massive renewable energy project.
Mammoet has been appointed to provide self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) within the SeAH Wind facility. The company’s scope will include the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles.
Darren Watson, Sales Manager at Mammoet, commented, “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 conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards. The NDT inspections will enhance the reliability and durability of the monopiles, ensuring they meet Ørsted’s stringent standards and international offshore wind regulations.
“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 northeast of England’s growth. We look forward to working with SeAH Wind and playing a pivotal role in the success of the project,” said Scott Martin, Group CEO at Glacier Energy.
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 strict compliance with Ørsted’s drawings and specifications.
Steve Adams, Managing Director at Hutchinson Engineering, stated, “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 program.”
These appointments reflect SeAH Wind’s continued commitment to ensuring the success of the Hornsea 3 project and contributing to the U.K.'s growing offshore wind sector.
