Glacier Energy will conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds throughout the manufacturing process. According to SeAH Wind, their NDT inspections will enhance the reliability and durability of the monopiles.
Hutchinson Engineering has been tasked with supplying secondary steel components for the Hornsea 3 project. SeAH Wind sought a UK-based company capable of delivering these complex parts in compliance with stringent Ørsted drawings and specifications, the company said.
The monopile foundations will be installed by Cadeler under a contract signed with Ørsted in 2023.
Ørsted was awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) for Hornsea 3 in July 2022, with the developer saying that with an installed capacity of 2.9 GW, Hornsea 3 was the largest single offshore wind farm in the world.
The project is expected to be completed by 2027.
