A joint venture of Sif Holding and Smulders has won a contract for monopile foundations and transition pieces for the 203MW Borkum West 2.2 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The JV was awarded the contract by Seaway Heavy Lifting, which is the EPCI contractor for the project.
Sif will produce the monopiles and the primary steel for the transition pieces, while Smulders will be responsible for secondary steel and outfitting the transition pieces.
Sif said the work will be carried out in the first half of 2018.
Around 20 shareholders from Germany and Switzerland approved the building of the €800m Borkum West 2.2 wind farm. Trianel, EWE and Fontavis are jointly supporting the project.
The wind farm will feature 32 Senvion 6.3MW turbines and is scheduled to be fully operational before the end of 2019.
