We are thrilled to announce that Applebridge Construction has been appointed to deliver the phase 3 concrete slab works for SeAH Wind’s monopile factory at Teesworks, a landmark project valued at £22 million. This critical phase of construction is set for completion within an ambitious 26-week timeframe.
As a North East and Yorkshire-based civil engineering contractor, we are honoured to be entrusted by K2 Construction Management with the task of constructing over 40,000m3 of concrete slabs and the installation of more than 10,000 tonnes of steel for SeAH’s mammoth facility. This appointment comes off the back of Applebridge’s successful work on the project’s earthworks, enabling, and drainage.
The project will see an accelerated programme of works, with Applebridge deploying day and night work gangs to ensure round-the-clock progress. This intensive effort underscores the project’s significance in bolstering the UK’s capabilities in renewable energy production, with the SeAH monopile factory set to play a pivotal role in the foundations of offshore wind turbines.
Situated on the Teesworks site, the £450 million factory development will stand at 40 metres tall, covering an area of 1.13 million sqft. It represents a monumental stride towards enhancing the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure, with the facility expected to generate 2,250 jobs in the local supply chain.
SeAH Wind’s monopile factory is not just a testament to the UK's commitment to renewable energy but also to the prowess of Applebridge’s construction capabilities. Our expertise in managing complex, high-value projects under tight schedules is set to ensure the successful and timely completion of this critical infrastructure.
Chris Brown, Applebridge Managing Director expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with K2 Construction Management on this groundbreaking project. Our commitment to delivering excellence and our proven track record on large-scale projects positions us uniquely to undertake the construction of SeAH Wind’s monopile factory’s concrete works. This project not only signifies a milestone in our journey but also in the UK’s journey towards a sustainable future.”
SeAH Wind’s monopile factory at Teesworks is a beacon of progress in the UK’s renewable energy landscape, promising to enhance the nation’s competitive edge in the global market. Applebridge’s role in this transformative project marks a significant chapter in the UK's construction and energy sectors, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
