OGN subsidiary, OGN North Sea, will receive GBP 640,250 from DECC’s Offshore Wind Component Technologies Development and Demonstration Scheme to build a prototype steel jacketed foundation, Triton, designed and developed by its sister company, Aquind, at OGN’s Hadrian Yard site in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear.
Construction of the prototype will begin later this year. Aquind’s Triton foundation structures are designed for large wind turbine generators (WTGs) in waters over 30m deep. OGN’s new purpose-built facility at its Hadrian Yard in Wallsend will be capable of producing an unprecedented 150 Triton jackets a year (3 per week).
