11th Substation from Bladt Industries Successfully Installed (Belgium)

During the last 18 months, a team from Bladt has been busy with the EPCI project for the Northwind Offshore Substation. Today, they can reap the benefits of their hard work as the substation has been installed successfully.

The installation had to wait a few days due to bad weather conditions, but yesterday, 1 July 2013, it finally happened:

16.40: Bladt Industries gave the go-ahead to cut off the sea fastening

17.30: Northwind Offshore Substation was lifted off the barge

18.15: Northwind Offshore Substation was installed on foundation

20.30: The mission was completed

The success lies within the priceless experience that Bladt has gained during the last decade with fabrication of substations and a hardcore team of engineers, blacksmiths, welders and painters who all know their role in the game.

The Northwind project is now close to an end and at this time Bladt is occupied with other substation projects.
