The team working on the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm has commenced the foundation installation campaign for the second phase of the development.
Seaway7’s vessels, Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift, have begun installing monopile foundations and transition pieces for the Dogger Bank B phase of the offshore wind farm project. These structures serve as the base for GE Vernova’s 13MW Haliade-X turbines. Manufactured by Sif and Smulders, the monopile and transition piece structures are being installed 80 miles off the Yorkshire coast by Seaway7. In total, 277 monopiles and transition pieces will be installed across all three phases of the wind farm, with completion scheduled for 2026. Dogger Bank, a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn, will consist of 277 wind turbines and produce 3.6GW of offshore renewable energy.
