Smulders has started production of the final transition piece (TP) for the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, a major offshore wind complex off the east coast of England.
The 3.6GW project, developed by SSE, Equinor, and Vargronn, is the largest of its kind and is set to be constructed in three phases. Production takes place at Smulders' facility in Hoboken, Belgium.
The Smulders-Sif consortium has been responsible for manufacturing 277 TPs and monopiles since March 2021. Foundation installations began on Dogger Bank B in May, with completion of all three phases expected by 2026.
Smulders expressed pride in contributing to the landmark project, stating, “Together, we are manufacturing a sustainable world.”
