The mission was completed
The success lies within the priceless experience we have gained during the last decade with fabrication of substations and a hardcore team of engineers, black smiths, welders and painters who all know their role in the game.
Even with at very tight time schedule, it would be a failure for us to compromise on the quality – in other words, we will never compromise on the quality because the quality of the structures we provide is absolutely crucial.
The Northwind project is now close to an end for us, and at present, we are occupied with other substation projects. The Northwind offshore wind farm is co-owned by investors Colruyt and Aspiravi.
