One of the UK\u2019s leading civil engineering contractors puts first spade in the ground as construction kicks off for world\u2019s largest offshore wind farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogger Bank Wind Farms, a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Equinor, is made up of three offshore wind farm sites in the North Sea, totalling 3.6 gigawatts (GW): Creyke Beck A (1.2GW), Creyke Beck B (1.2GW) and Teesside A (1.2GW). All three sites were successful in the UK\u2019s September 2019 Contracts for Difference (CfD) auctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wind farm will make use of the world\u2019s most powerful turbine, GE\u2019s Haliade-X, and will be capable of generating enough renewable energy for over 4.5 million homes each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones Bros Civil Engineering, one of the UK\u2019s leading civil engineering contractors, headquartered in Ruthin, North Wales, has been awarded the contract to install the onshore cable infrastructure for the Creyke Beck A and Creyke Beck B sites. The works will also involve completing bulk earthworks at the onshore HVDC convertor station locations in East Riding.<\/span><\/p>\n

The onshore infrastructure includes the installation of approximately 20 miles of electrical cables within ducts. The ducts will be installed within trenches and where required via drilling under existing infrastructure and natural obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n

The completed onshore cable will transport the power generated by the two offshore wind farm sites, Creyke Beck A and Creyke Beck B from the landfall point at Ulrome to the new convertor stations (one per project) in the south of Beverley. The cable route will connect to the existing National Grid substation at Creyke Beck, Cottingham.<\/span><\/p>\n

The works contract also includes vegetation clearance, preparing access junctions and construction of a temporary access road to facilitate the main works, and installation of pre- and postconstruction land drainage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The full works are expected to take approximately two years to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Wilson, Managing Director of Dogger Bank Wind Farms, said: \u201cGetting the first spade in the ground is a significant milestone on any project, but for what will be the world\u2019s largest offshore wind farm, this is a major moment for a project that has already been over a decade in the making.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDogger Bank Wind Farms will play a critical role in the UK\u2019s effort to achieve net-zero through the use of low-carbon fuel sources and we\u2019re incredibly pleased to work with one of the UK\u2019s leading civil engineering contractors, Jones Bros, as we commence construction and start delivering Dogger Bank.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Garod Evans, Jones Bros Contracts Director, said: \u201cWe have worked with SSE Renewables on major schemes previously and we are delighted to be developing our partnership through working with them and now Equinor on the onshore works for Dogger Bank Wind Farms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be up to 100 Jones Bros personnel, from management to apprentices and trainees, on site at the height of the works.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a really significant project to be involved with and it\u2019s exciting for us to play a part in delivering support to what will be the world\u2019s biggest offshore wind farm.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
