VolkerFitzpatrick has been awarded an \u00a382m design and build contract for new wind-turbine facilities in Hull.<\/p>\n

The contractor will deliver two facilities for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, as well as repurposing an existing factory that it delivered for the client in 2016.<\/p>\n

The new buildings, which cover a footprint of 42,362 square metres, will enable 40-metre clear spans and a working height of 18 metres to accommodate the large console cranes used in the wind-turbine blade manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

The existing 34,217 square-metre blade factory will be repurposed from a production facility to a finishing area.Work will include internal reconfiguration and alteration of the building\u2019s envelope, steelwork and doors to allow for larger blades to be manoeuvred in and out.<\/p>\n

Rob Bullen, Siemens Gamesa’s head of real estate for the UK and Ireland, said: \u201cThis project is more ambitious even than the initial factory build in Hull back in 2016, and Siemens Gamesa needed a partner that could match our aspirations for delivering the project. It\u2019s evident, even from the early stages of working together on the project, that we have found that partner in VolkerFitzpatrick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Works are due to be completed in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
