Bladt Industries has secured a contract with Orsted for transition pieces for the 1386MW Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm off the east coast of England.
Under the terms of the deal, the Danish fabricator will supply 135 TPs for the project, with the work scheduled to kick off this year at the company’s Aalborg facility.
Delivery will take place from mid-2020 to mid-2021, Bladt said.
Bladt Industries chief executive Klaus Steen Mortensen said: “We are proud that Orsted have trusted Bladt Industries as the fabricator for Hornsea 2.
“The teams on both sides have with dedication and collaboration been able to fast track the closure of the contract.
“This contract is not only one of the largest contracts Bladt Industries have been awarded, but fosters also strategic opportunities to further strengthen our relationship with Orsted.
“A contract of this size will allow us to full scale utilise our new and lean production set-up.”
Bladt chief sales officer Nils Overgaard said: “We have a remarkably experienced team ready to execute the transition pieces for Hornsea 2 in close cooperation with the ambitious and professional Orsted-team.
“We all know that bringing the right experience into the project will embrace the right quality and project performance. With this contract Bladt will pass the magic track record of 2000 foundations.”
Hornsea 2 will feature Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW hardware and is planned to be up and running by 2022.
