Major milestone achieved at Hornsea 3 windfarm project

VolkerStevin is delighted to share that the team has successfully pulled the first cables at Hornsea 3, which will be the world’s single largest offshore wind farm when complete, passing another major milestone for the project.

Cabling works are being carried out on behalf of Ørsted, one of the world’s leading sustainable energy companies. The project, which is being delivered by VolkerFitzpatrick supported by VolkerStevin and VolkerTrenchless Solutions, will see the delivery of a 52km stretch of cable route connecting the offshore wind farm from Weybourne in North Norfolk to the main National Grid substation south of Norwich.

The first four cable drums safely arrived in early July, with transportation assistance from the Norfolk constabulary, following months of meticulous planning and preparation. The cables were extracted near the Norfolk coast, marking a major milestone for the project team.
