SSE has awarded ENGIE Fabricom the first phase of a project to remediate grout connection subsidence between the pile and transition pieces on the Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm.
Initial development work will take place in the last quarter of 2016 at ENGIE Fabricom’s Middlesbrough facilities to develop working methods before mobilisation to Lowestoft for the offshore campaign.
The offshore work will be completed on a turnkey basis with ENGIE Fabricom responsible for all aspects of works including project management, vessel charter, multi-technical installation and certified handover.
Offshore activities are planned to commence in Q2 2017 and will cover initial 20 foundations.
