Sif Group has officially opened its expanded monopile manufacturing plant at Maasvlakte 2 in Rotterdam.
The expansion adds around 60,000 sq m to Sif’s existing 40,000 sq m facilities in Rotterdam, transforming the area from a traditional assembly plant to a fully integrated, robotised production line for monopile foundations up to 11 m in diameter and 120 m long.
The project to expand the site began three years ago to cater to requests to increase production.
One of the first projects for the expanded factory will be the Ecowende offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. Production of the 52 TP-less monopile foundations will start shortly. Further projects include the monopiles and transition pieces for Baltyk 2&3 in Poland and the monopiles for Oranjewind in the Netherlands.
