Bladt Industries has completed the first lifting operation of an external platform onto the upper jacket structure of a foundation for the 588MW Beatrice offshore wind farm.
The Danish outfit is providing 30 four-legged jacket foundations for the wind farm.
The jackets will have a height of up to approximately 70 metres and weigh approximately 900 tonnes, Bladt said.
