Severfield and Smulders, two leading steel fabricators in England, will supply a large proportion of secondary structures for Hornsea 3’s foundations from the UK. This includes the Suspended Internal Platforms or SIPs, key internal parts of the foundations on which the wind turbines sit. In addition they’ll build the boat landings where smaller vessels will arrive, allowing technicians to directly access the turbine foundation. They’ll also provide anode cages, which protect the steel-made foundation structure from corrosion.

North East England-based JDR will prepare and connect the cables between the turbines and offshore convertor stations. Using their state of the art testing system, they will ensure that all array cabling is fully integrated into the offshore electrical infrastructure and working safely. The work on Hornsea 3 will help support more than 300 jobs across the three partners.
