VolkerInfra has landed its first contract with Siemens which will see it work on the 400MW Dudgeon offshore wind farm.
The company will install extra high voltage cables required to connect the onshore substation to the wind farm off the Norfolk coast.
VolkerInfra will be responsible for the in-house design, procurement, installation, jointing and testing for a total of six 132kV and twenty eight 33kV circuits.
Managing director Jonathon Humphries said: “The project was won at competitive tender and marks our first contract awarded from Siemens which is fantastic news.
“The business is going from strength to strength and working as a contractor to a company like Siemens is yet another successful milestone for us. Hopefully this will be the first of many projects with them.”
VolkerWessels chief executive Alan Robertson added: “We are really pleased that VolkerInfra is the latest of our companies to work collaboratively with Siemens.
“Earlier this year, VolkerFitzpatrick was awarded the contract to build the wind turbine blade factory for Siemens in Hull – so it is really pleasing to be working with Siemens again through VolkerInfra.”
