Bladt Sends Off Final Beatrice Jacket

Danish offshore foundations specialist Bladt Industries has shipped out the final jacket foundation built for the Beatrice offshore wind project in the Scottish North Sea.

In total, Bladt manufactured and delivered 30 four-legged jacket foundations for the 588MW Beatrice project.

The wind farm will comprise 84 Siemens Gamesa 7MW wind turbines and two Siemens Offshore Transformer Modules.

Over three quarters of foundations have been installed so far in the Outer Moray Firth, with the turbine installation scheduled to start in July.

The wind farm is slated for full commissioning in 2019.
