The Correll Group’s electrical engineering division has won a deal to complete array cable termination and testing at SSE and Equinor’s 1200MW Dogger Bank wind farm off east England.
The company will carry out the job at 95 turbines and the offshore substation platform.
DEME Offshore placed the contract as the lead cable installation outfit.
The deal with Correll will support around 50 skilled UK-based jobs.
Dogger Bank Wind Farm marine package manager, Alan Evans, said: “Correll Group will play an important role in the safe installation and testing of sub-sea equipment in preparation for first power this summer.
“They will join a number of UK-based firms helping to build the critical marine infrastructure needed for this world-leading project including the manufacturers of our cable protection and cable monitoring systems.”
Sam Dowey, Managing Director at Correll, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this contract from Deme Offshore, also extremely proud to be delivering works for a local wind farm utilising local content.”
The company is one of a number of UK companies helping to support the safe installation and testing of critical marine equipment for the world-leading project.
DEME previously awarded contracts to Darlington-based Tekmar and Proserv’s Great Yarmouth Centre of Excellence team for the delivery of cable protection and cable monitoring systems.
More than 2000 UK based jobs are being created or supported in relation to the construction and operation of Dogger Bank, including over 400 long-term jobs that have been created locally in the north-east of England to support operations and maintenance from South Tyneside for the 35-year life of the wind.
