A significant new wind farm, providing up to 30 turbines 1.5km offshore, has been given planning permission to process. Garrad Hassan has been contracted by EDF Energy to undertake the Front End Engineering Development (FEED) study for a Teesside Offshore Wind Farm off the coast of North East England. The project, when fully operational, could generate enough power every year to supply around 60,000 homes – the approximate combined volume of households in Redcar and Cleveland - with clean energy.
The FEED study is a key stage in the development of such a project, addressing areas of technical uncertainty in all aspects of the project. Included in the scope of the study for Teesside are economic optimisation, planning sequencing of work and determining the best contracting strategy.
Garrad Hassan will be responsible for all areas of the study: project management, wind turbine, layout design and analysis, offshore structures, electrical system and grid connection, O&M, marine installation, cable installation, H&S, risk management and procurement support. Garrad Hassan will be supported in this project by BOMEL Limited.
Teesside Offshore Wind Project Manager, Hugh Yendole, states: “We are pleased to award this contract to Garrad Hassan & BOMEL, who won a close competitive contest. The outputs of the FEED will be very important to guiding the delivery of the Teesside offshore wind farm.”
Colin Morgan, Offshore Projects Manager at Garrad Hassan comments on their involvement in the Teesside project:
“FEED studies bring real value to offshore wind projects such as Teesside - resulting in wind farms which are more optimal and generally better thought-through, putting them in the best possible position for proceeding to procurement under tough market conditions for project owners.”
The award of this contract confirms Garrad Hassan’s position as a leading multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy in the offshore wind sector. Since 2006, the company has completed works on similar FEED studies for other UK offshore wind projects.

wind farms are great but they also take up a large land area”,’
Its a good thing and will hopefully will give some much much needed work in teeside ta last im over the moon come on teeside great.
:`* I am very thankful to this topic because it really gives up to date information :~’
Thanks for your recommendations on this blog. 1 thing I wish to say is the fact purchasing gadgets items on the Internet is nothing new. The fact is, in the past decades alone, the market for online electronic products has grown a great deal. Today, you could find practically any type of electronic tool and product on the Internet, which include cameras as well as camcorders to computer elements and game playing consoles.
One more thing I would like to say is that in place of trying to fit all your online degree lessons on days and nights that you finish off work (since the majority people are tired when they go back home), try to receive most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only 1 or 2 courses for weekdays, even if it means a little time off your weekend break. This pays off because on the week-ends, you will be more rested as well as concentrated for school work. Thanks a lot for the different suggestions I have learned from your weblog.
Thank you for your article, I hope to find more next
