RWE awards Global Wind Service Offshore Installation Contract for offshore wind farm Thor
Global Wind Service (GWS) is delighted to announce we have been awarded a contract for RWE’s Thor Offshore Wind Farm project, further strengthening our position as a leading provider of offshore installation services. This contract focuses on the installation of 72 secondary structures on the monopile foundations.
The Thor Offshore Wind Farm is located in the North Sea west of Nissum Fjord, Denmark. Installation of the secondary structures is scheduled for execution in 2025 and will see a dedicated team of 60 skilled technicians deployed across both white and blue-collar roles.
Since September 2024, GWS has been actively engaged in project preparations working closely with the Thor Wind Farm team at RWE and specialist tool manufacturers.
Key preparatory activities have included:
✔ Developing lift plans and comprehensive process documentation
✔ Conducting mock-up trials
✔ Comprehensive HSEQ and tooling planning
GWS is thrilled to be involved in this Scope of Work and to create a long-term relationship with RWE, one of the world's leading players in the offshore wind sector.
“GWS is thrilled to be chosen by RWE to deliver this project and to continue our strong partnership in renewable energy” said Adrian Yeaman, Sales Manager at Global Wind Service.
“It’s great to already see the different teams come together and collaborate as ‘one team’ in all matters and a testament to the strength of relationships at Management and Operational levels. Special recognition is mentioned for the GWS and RWE Project Management Team for their tenacity and also to the superb GWS Resourcing Team for ensuring we have a talented team in place to execute this complex installation.” said Thomas Bak Mathiasen, CCO at Global Wind Service.
It is not the first time GWS has partnered with RWE. In February last year GWS and RWE signed a strategic 3-yeard agreement to support RWE’s Offshore Wind Fleet Servicing unit in the UK and Germany.
As we continue expanding our offshore wind capabilities, GWS remains committed to delivering high-quality solutions supporting the global transition to sustainable energy. This contract reflects our expertise, collaborative spirit, and steadfast commitment to excellence.
