Steel River Consultants (SRC) is to provide technical support on the 720km electricity link between the UK and Norway.
The company will act as hazard identification facilitator and provide CDM support and health and safety advisory services to cable supplier Prysmian.
The North Sea Link (NSL) project, a project owned 50% each by National Grid and Statnett, will run from Blyth, in Northumberland, to Kvilldal, in Rogaland, on the Norwegian side.
Prysmian has been awarded a contract to design, fabricate and install 2 x 470km of sub-sea cables and 2x 2km of onshore cables which will be manufactured at the group’s factory in Naples and installed using its cable laying vessel the Giulio Verne.
The interconnector will be installed by the end of 2021.
SRC regional manager Chris Lawson said: “We are delighted to have been appointed by Prysmian and take great pride in working on such an exciting and important energy project.”
