The first TP’s manufactured by TECADE for the Moray East offshore wind project in Scotland leave from Port of Seville

This weekend the loading of the first two transition pieces (TPs) manufactured by TECADE was carried out at its facilities in the Port of Seville for the Moray East offshore wind farm in Scotland. The pieces are sent by sea from Seville to Navantia in Puerto Real, where the assembly with the upper part of the jacket will take place.

In total there will be 20 TPs that once assembled, will finally be destined to Newcastle (UK) for the complete assembly of the structure.

In this way, TECADE becomes the pioneer company in the South of Spain for the manufacture of such structures and puts the province of Seville at the forefront of the offshore wind industry. TECADE got this important contract last year, through the NAVANTIA company and Nervión Industrias.

The project also supposes a great boost for direct and indirect employment in the province with 350,000 hours of work and the direct occupation of up to 350 people.

Manufacturing work on the remaining Tp’s of the project continues in the Port of Seville.
