The grouting services, set to begin in September 2025, are essential for ensuring the stability of subsea foundations, contributing to the safe and reliable installation of the wind farm’s assets. Tekmar’s expertise in this area will enhance the structural integrity of the project’s offshore components.
Richard Turner, CEO of Tekmar Group, stated: “This contract win marks another step in our strategy to broaden Tekmar’s offshore wind service offering, particularly in grouting – an area of increasing strategic importance for the Group. We are delighted to be supporting Charles Brand on a nationally significant project like Inch Cape, and we look forward to safe and successful delivery later this year.”
The Inch Cape wind farm, developed by Inch Cape Offshore Limited—a joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables—features 72 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines. These will be installed on a combination of monopile and jacket foundations, supported by a single offshore substation platform and two 85-kilometer AC export cables. The cables will connect to an onshore substation under construction in Cockenzie, East Lothian.
Financial close for the project was achieved in early 2025, marking a key milestone in its development. Once operational in 2027, the wind farm is projected to produce nearly 5 terawatt-hours of renewable energy annually, significantly contributing to Scotland’s clean energy goals.
The contract with Charles Brand, a principal contractor for the project’s landfall works, highlights Tekmar’s ability to deliver critical services for large-scale renewable energy projects. The grouting solution will play a vital role in ensuring the long-term stability and performance of the wind farm’s infrastructure.
This partnership strengthens Tekmar’s position in the offshore wind sector and aligns with the broader push for sustainable energy in the UK. The Inch Cape project, with its substantial capacity and advanced technology, is poised to enhance energy security and support the transition to a low-carbon future in Scotland.
