Engineering and construction company J. Murphy & Sons has won a £2.5 million contract with Vattenfall to deliver early works for the onshore cable installation scope of the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone.
Vattenfall said the early works, which include site investigations and design optimisation activities like topology surveys, boreholes and small trial pits along the cable route to understand ground conditions, will provide greater certainty in construction and deliver the project more efficiently.
J. Murphy & Sons is also preferred bidder for the future construction works contract.
Rob Anderson, Project Director of Vattenfall’s Norfolk Zone, said: “We’re taking the project into the next phase so we’re delighted to have J. Murphy & Sons on board, helping us to deliver the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone. Their expertise will be invaluable, as will their focus on boosting the local economy by supporting jobs and growth in the region.”
