Following the award in November 2020 of contracts for Dogger Bank A and B, Dogger Bank Wind Farm has now signed with the Sif-Smulders consortium the contract for the fabrication and supply of all foundations for the Dogger Bank C phase of the project.
The foundation fabrication and supply are subject to financial close on Dogger Bank C which is foreseen late 2021. Dogger Bank Wind Farm is being developed in three phases – Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C – located more than 130km from the Yorkshire coast. Dogger Bank C, like A and B, will have an installed generation capacity of 1.2GW. In the project-specific Sif-Smulders consortium, Sif is responsible for fabrication and supply of monopiles and primary steel for the transition pieces, and for the marshalling of all foundation components at its Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam terminal (picture below). Smulders will manufacture secondary steel and assemble, coat and test fully equipped transition pieces.
