Narec has taken receipt of the first of the rolled ‘cans’ for the
tripod foundation structure of its offshore monitoring platform, part of
the Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Project.
Fabricated by McNulty
Offshore Construction Limited on the River Tyne, the installation of the
complete platform structure is expected to occur in the early Autumn
of this year. When operational, the offshore monitoring facility will
provide the development team with wind speed and environmental data for
inclusion in the Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Project EIA application.
It can also provide the necessary validation for future testing programmes on installed wind turbine prototype machines.
