SUPPLY CHAIN BUILDS FOR HORSEA 3 OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT

SeAH Wind has signed up three key suppliers for its work on the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project.

Mammoet, Glacier Energy and Hutchinson Engineering have all been appointed as key subcontractors for Hornsea 3.

Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 site will deliver enough green energy to power more than three million UK homes. An £8.5bn infrastructure project, Hornsea 3 will make a significant contribution toward UK energy security, as well the local and national economy.

With commercial production set to start in the coming months, these subcontractors have been selected to support with the operational and logistical services within the 120-acre site located on the South Bank of Teesworks in the Tees Valley. 

SeAH Wind will be supplying the monopile foundations for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project, situated approximately 120 km off the Norfolk Coast in the North Sea. Upon completion, it will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

Chris Sohn, CEO at SeAH Wind, 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 appointed to provide self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) within the SeAH Wind facility. Its scope includes the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles.

Glacier Energy will conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards.

Its 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.

Hutchinson Engineering has been tasked with supplying 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. Hutchinson Engineering has previous experience on Ørsted projects.
