Smulders and Haizea to build transition pieces for Polish offshore wind farm

In this second project of their cooperation it's all about transition pieces.

Haizea Bilbao will manufacture the primary steel in its Bilbao facilities. Smulders will manufacture the secondary steel and assemble, outfit, coat, and test fully equipped transition pieces. The secondary steel will be manufactured at Smulders facilities in Poland. The assembly of the transition pieces will take place at the yard in Hoboken or Newcastle, which has recently been modified to enable the assembly of transition pieces, Smulders said.

Jaap Jansen, Tender Director of Smulders, says: “We are proud to have been selected by Baltic Power to manufacture the transition pieces for this project, which is the first project for the Polish offshore wind market. A significant share of the steel structures for the Baltic Power project will come from Smulders own production facilities in Poland.”
