Tekmar Group Secures Significant Contract for a US Offshore Wind Project
We are pleased to announce that our UK partner, Tekmar Group, has been awarded a significant contract for Cable Protection Systems (CPS) for an offshore wind farm project in the U.S.
The company announced the award on May 25th.
The Contract
Under the contract, Tekmar will provide an integrated engineering solution, including Cable Protection Systems (CPS), for the offshore wind project across the pond.
The CPS is expected to be delivered in 2023, according to the company.
“This landmark contract award strengthens our position in the US offshore wind market and represents an important milestone in expanding our geographical presence, a key driver of our growth strategy”, said Alasdair MacDonald, CEO of Tekmar Group, who also added that the contract built on the company’s recent contract momentum, including the Dogger Bank Wind Farm.
Work in the US
In the U.S., the company supplied Seaway 7 with TekLink cable protection systems and TekDuct cable crossing protection for the now-operational 12 MW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) demonstration project.
The U.S. currently has two commercial-scale offshore wind farms under construction: Vineyard Wind 1 in Massachusetts and South Fork in New York.
Working with DeepWater Buoyancy
Last year, Tekmar signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the DeepWater Buoyancy for collaboration in the offshore wind sector. While the partnership with DeepWater Buoyancy is focused on the US Offshore Floating Wind market, it also involves supporting Tekmar’s organic growth strategy by strengthening its presence and manufacturing capability in the US bottom-fixed offshore wind market. The arrangement also provides DeepWater Buoyancy with greater access to the European market.
Recently, Tekmar and DeepWater Buoyancy worked together to deliver a first of a kind solution consisting of buoyancy and ballast for a thermoplastic composite pipe. Learn more here… LINK or here…LINK
