Offshore wind engineering company Osbit has opened an assembly and service facility at the port of Blyth in the UK.
The 3,350 sq m facility, located at the port’s Wimbourne Quay, has a ‘build and test space’ four times larger than Osbit’s previous site at the port and has access to multiple heavy lift quays.
The project included the conversion of one of the port’s warehouses at its Bates Clean Energy Terminal into a state-of-the-art engineering workshop for Osbit. This included the addition of new offices and overhead cranes.
Steve Binney, director at Osbit responsible for the site’s development, said: “Opening this new facility is a huge milestone for Osbit. We are now able to deliver multiple projects simultaneously, under one roof, and situate ourselves in prime position to meet the increasing demands of the industry. The adjoining facility also provides a satellite office for our rapidly-expanding team, enabling us to grow with the sector.”
Osbit is part of Venterra Group, a UK-based provider of offshore wind services. The facility will enhance collaboration across Venterra’s portfolio of offshore wind companies.
