International Trade Minister, Graham Stuart, visited the world’s largest offshore construction grouting specialists FoundOcean in Livingston, Scotland, to announce a major new export contract won by the firm, which will create 30 new green jobs in the local area.
FoundOcean have won a contract to provide the foundations for a 100 turbine offshore wind farm in Taiwan after receiving financial support from UK Export Finance (UKEF), the government’s export credit agency.
The company will provide the foundation grouting to enable wind turbines to be secured to the seabed to form the wind farm. The farm will then be able to produce over 1GW of power – equivalent to 20% of the level the UK produces.
