Great Yarmouth outfit 3sun Group has won a contract from Siemens for the pre-assembly of 56 turbine towers for the 336MW Galloper offshore wind farm off the UK east coast.
The company said 40 new jobs will be created for engineers and technicians, who will work with Siemens on the pre-assembly at the Port of Great Yarmouth.
The work is set to start early next month, 3sun said.
Once assembled the towers will be loaded on to vessels by a 120-metre ALE Heavy lift SXL850 quayside crane for installation off the Suffolk coast.
The wind farm will consist of 56 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 turbines.
Siemens Strategic Procurement global commodity manager Hervé Bouraima said: “When awarding our contracts, local content is a priority as well as UK content.
“3sun Group is a highly regarded experienced local company with the skills and personnel for this work.”
