Focus were appointed to deliver sustainability services for a new East Coast Hub for the global leader in offshore wind, Ørsted. The Operations and Maintenance Building, constructed on the Royal Docks at Grimsby, Lincolnshire, is a state-of-the-art hub to support the construction and operation of Ørsted’s offshore wind farms.
As BREEAM Sustainability Champion, Focus provided monthly updates for both the Design and Post Construction Stage assessments, to remind the project team of the BREEAM objectives for the development – including ambitious targets for water conservation. Through efficient fittings, flow restrictors and control devices, which decrease the water used and wasted, a 40% reduction in water use over the baseline amount calculated will be achieved.
Ørsted is creating the biggest offshore wind farms in the world off the Yorkshire Coast – the Hornsea Projects One and Two’s turbines will provide enough electricity for well over 2.3 million homes when the wind farms become operational in 2020 / 22.
