SeAH Wind has announced the appointment of Mammoet, Glacier Energy, and Hutchinson Engineering as key subcontractors for the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Project. With commercial production set to commence 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.
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. Their scope includes the transportation of can/cone structures and completed monopiles. By leveraging Mammoet’s expertise in heavy transport solutions in offshore wind site logistics, SeAH Wind ensures a seamless and efficient movement of monopiles, minimising downtime and improving overall production efficiency.
Darren Watson, Sales Manager from 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 conduct 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.
Scott Martin, Group CEO at Glacier Energy 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. We look forward to working with SeAH Wind and playing a pivotal role in the success of the project.'
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’s previous experience on Ørsted projects, combined with their expertise, makes them an ideal partner for this phase of the project.
Steve Adams, Managing Director at Hutchinsons 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.'
