U.S. Wind company wins infrastructure award

The award honours the work of organisations advancing infrastructure design, construction, and operations throughout the world. This year there were more than 360 nominations for Be Inspired Awards from organizations in 55 countries.

Keystone CEO Barry Reed was in London to accept the award: "This award is a testament to the hard work, determination and innovative spirit that Keystone team members bring to every project."

Keystone Engineering designed the foundations for the first offshore wind farm in the North America, the Block Island Wind Farm, which is currently under construction 4.5km off the coast of Rhode Island. The project will install a total of 5 Haliade 150-6MW Alstom turbines with a total given power of 30MW. The project is expected to cost around $290 million (£186 million) (€ 261 million) with full commissioning expected for 2016.
