Bladt Industries helps building the largest offshore wind farm in the world

Overall, Bladt 96 will manufacture transition pieces, of which 56 will be manufactured at Teesside in the UK, which will secure 200 jobs. The remaining 40 metal parts are manufactured at the plants in Aalborg, Denmark.

Jan Kjærsgaard, CEO of Bladt Industries commented: “We are very pleased to take part in the Hornsea Project One and we are particularly happy to receive yet another order for our OSB facility in Teesside. Since the decision to invest in OSB in 2015, we have undertaken a full upgrade of the facility and have employed close to 200 employees. This order will follow our two first orders for Burbo Bank Extension and Walney Extension and will secure our capacity utilization for approximately one full year.”

The wind farm will be built off the coast of Yorkshire with a capacity of 1.2 gigawatts (GW) and will be the world's first offshore wind farm over 1 GW capable of providing enough environmentally friendly electricity for more than one million homes.

In addition, Bladt Industries will also supply three offshore substations for the Hornsea project, each weighing 2,800 tonnes.
