Greater Gabbard Wind farm

In 2010, Subsea Protection Systems were awarded a contract by Fluor to supply Concrete Fleximats and Concrete Fleximats with Anti-Scour Frond Mats attached, to protect the cables of the Greater Gabbard Wind farm.

The Greater Gabbard Wind farm is a 500MW wind farm under construction on sandbanks 23km off the coast of Suffolk, England. Onshore construction activities commenced in early July 2008 and 140 3.6MW turbines have been constructed. It is currently the world's largest offshore windfarm under construction.

Due to the large volume of Concrete Mattresses required, SPS set up a manufacturing base in Harwich close to the mobilisation quay.
