Smulders

Smulders was referenced as a foundation production contributor for the Hollandse Kust West Site VI offshore wind farm (Ecowende) in the Netherlands. The project comprises 52 monopile foundations supporting 52 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines, installed approximately 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast near IJmuiden. According to the project update describing completion of the monopile installation campaign, the monopile foundations for the 760 MW wind farm were produced by Sif and Smulders. The same source confirmed that Van Oord, as the offshore contractor, was responsible for transporting and installing the monopiles at the offshore site, using its installation vessel Boreas during the monopile installation campaign. The cited information did not specify how the manufacturing scope was divided between Sif and Smulders (e.g., primary structure versus secondary steel), nor did it provide contract value or the date of Smulders’ contract award. The role is therefore recorded as foundation manufacturing participation for the project’s monopile foundation set as referenced in the installation completion reporting.
