South Fork Wind

Located in Long Island, New York

  • Capability
    • Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial
  • Completion 2022

Project Overview

In 2022, we were awarded the first US-based Tier 1 Contract for Secondary Steel for the South Fork Wind Farm of Long Island, New York, a collaborative effort between a global leader in clean energy and New England’s largest energy provider. South Fork Wind Farm became the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in the United States, generating 132 MW of clean energy- sufficient to power nearly 70,000 homes. This milestone installation was critical, as power demands have been rapidly increasing. By producing clean energy, South Fork Wind Farm not only meets the region’s escalating power needs but also contributes to a sustainable future, benefiting both the environment and residents.

Key Highlights

This project featured Advanced Foundation Components (AFCs) essential to the structural and operational integrity of the wind turbines. We implemented cutting-edge safety measures, including innovative fall protection protocols, custom fabrication solutions, and thorough risk assessments, ensuring exceptional safety and efficiency. The integration of “pull planning” from the Lean Construction methodology further optimized resource allocation and streamlined project milestones.

Project Scope of Work Included:

Advanced Foundation Components (AFCs)

  • Onshore Assembly and Fabrication of External Concrete Platforms
  • Supported Internal Platforms (SIPs)
  • External Working Platforms
  • Anode Cages for 12 Sets of Wind Turbines
  • Installation of Conduit Systems, Task Lighting, and High-Voltage Equipment

Challenges and Results

The project posed numerous challenges, including the development of a new supply chain and the construction of intricate wind turbine components at facilities upgraded to meet industry-specific requirements. We addressed these obstacles through meticulous planning and collaboration with experienced European suppliers.

On August 25, 2023, we delivered the 12th and final set of AFCs for South Fork Wind, marking a historic milestone as the first U.S.-assembled AFCs. South Fork Wind now supplies clean energy and supports the goal of achieving nine gigawatts of offshore wind by 2035, propelling a more sustainable energy future.
