SeAH Wind has selected Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering as key subcontractors for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project, located around 120 km off the Norfolk coast in the North Sea. SeAH Wind will be responsible for supplying the monopile foundations for the project, with commercial production expected to begin in the coming months. These subcontractors have been chosen to provide operational and logistical support at the 120-acre site situated on the South Bank of Teesworks.
Chris Sohn, CEO of SeAH Wind, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “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 tasked with providing self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) to transport the completed monopiles and other structures. The company's role will include the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles within the SeAH Wind facility. Darren Watson, Sales Manager at Mammoet, 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 be responsible for conducting non-destructive testing (NDT) on the welds throughout the manufacturing process to ensure that the highest quality standards are maintained. Scott Martin, Group CEO at Glacier Energy, commented, “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. We look forward to working with SeAH Wind and playing a pivotal role in the success of the project.”
Hutchinson Engineering has been selected to supply secondary steel components for the Hornsea 3 project. The company was chosen for its ability to deliver complex parts in strict accordance with Orsted's specifications. Steve Adams, Managing Director at Hutchinson Engineering, 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.
The Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project, which is part of the ongoing development of the UK's renewable energy infrastructure, is expected to play a significant role in expanding offshore wind power capacity in the region. The strategic partnerships established with these subcontractors are crucial to the project's successful delivery.
