VolkerInfra has been awarded its first contract with Siemens Energy which will see the company work on the Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm.

Valued at £2 million (€2.85m) the contract covers the installation extra high voltage cables required to connect the onshore substation to the wind off the Norfolk coast.

Jonathon Humphries, managing director of VolkerInfra, said: “The project was won at competitive tender and marks our first contract awarded from Siemens which is fantastic news.The business is going from strength to strength and working as a contractor to a company like Siemens is yet another successful milestone for us. Hopefully this will be the first of many projects with them.”

VolkerInfra will be responsible for the in-house design, procurement, installation, jointing and testing for a total of six 132kV and twenty eight 33kV circuits.

Alan Robertson, chief executive of VolkerWessels UK, said: “We are really pleased that VolkerInfra is the latest of our companies to work collaboratively with Siemens. Earlier this year, VolkerFitzpatrick was awarded the contract to build the wind turbine blade factory for Siemens in Hull - so it is really pleasing to be working with Siemens again through VolkerInfra.”

VolkerWessels stated that the work begins next month and will end in October 2016.

Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm will be located 32 kilometres off the British coast, north of the town of Cromer in North Norfolk and is expected to produce enough renewable energy to power more than 410,000 UK homes each year. The 67 6MW Siemens Wind turbines will give the wind farm a total capacity of 402 MW.
