Hughes SSE has received another safety award for its work on the world’s second largest wind farm - Gwynt y Môr. Colin Christian of RWE presented the award to Managing Director Ian Hughes at the O&M Base in Mostyn. After Ian Hughes accepted the award, he commented

“Hughes SSE’s operations on the Gwynt y Môr project have been challenging and rewarding. The company has built strong working relationships with numerous contractors during the project and enjoyed working closely with the client. Both our onshore and offshore teams have worked tirelessly to ensure a safe and successful completion, and I am very proud to say that Hughes SSE has been involved and consistently provided the best possible service from start to finish. Receiving this award from our clients RWE is a fitting end to a successful project for us. We understand that reducing the amount of lost time incidents help our clients reduce costs and help drive change for better in the industry. ”

Hughes SSE completed over 3500 safe dives on the project without any major incidents and with an outstanding focus on safety.

One key service provided by Hughes SSE was Emergency Response, and the company’s industry leading Emergency Response Teams provided award winning rapid medical cover for over 40 incidents ranging from sprained joints to critical injuries. The diligence and expertise of these teams contributed greatly to the safe and efficient running of the wind farm, and allowed all contractors on site to operate with confidence that help was never more than 15 minutes away.

Some key Figures from the project:
Hughes SSE Completed over 100 Cable Pulls
Laid over 200+ Mattresses
The dive team spent a total of 2500 hours under the water on the project.

In addition to the sterling work of the offshore teams, Hughes SSE’s core team of shore side project staff provided an exemplary service in keeping the project on track, often working to tight deadlines. The team of around 25 employees ensured that a rapid turnaround for all operational support needs was consistently maintained, and a great deal of flexibility and competence was shown by all to meet the project’s changing needs.
