The Scotland-based company, which says this is its largest single contract award to date, is delivering the work in collaboration with Global Port Services, Global Crane Services and port owner Forth Ports Limited. At the Port of Leith, Aventus Energy is receiving and inspecting the monopiles, transition pieces and jacket foundations for the 1.1 GW offshore wind farm as they arrive into port, before executing activities to ensure the components are ready for offshore installation and operational readiness.
The contract also involves project management including planning, documentation, survey, quality and technical verification, the company says.
The delivery of the foundation components for the Scottish offshore wind farm is nearing completion, with all monopiles shipped to the Port of Leith by the end of last year, and transition pieces currently being delivered.
