Tekmar secures one million euro offshore wind contract

Tekmar Group, which is headquartered in Newton Aycliffe, has been awarded a contract valued at approximately one million euros, equivalent to 850,000 pounds. The agreement involves the provision of concrete protection solutions for a significant European offshore wind farm. This order represents the first instance of a concrete protection solution being purchased by an existing customer of the company, thereby extending an established commercial relationship with a leading submarine cable contractor.

Under the terms of the contract, Tekmar is responsible for designing and manufacturing concrete protection and stabilisation systems. These solutions are intended to safeguard cables across the wind farm infrastructure. The cables are a critical component of such facilities, as any disruption can lead to costly shutdowns and interruptions to power and revenue generation. Delivery of the contracted materials is scheduled to take place within the 2026 calendar year.

Richard Turner, the chief executive of Tekmar, stated that securing this contract marks a positive step in the delivery of the company’s growth strategy. He noted that it reflects the ongoing success of changes implemented under Project Aurora, which has delivered a record level of backlog to date. This progress is driving additional throughput and operational efficiencies across the company’s existing capacity. Turner added that the deal demonstrates the firm’s market-leading position in asset protection technology and the strength of its customer relationships. The company aims for its concrete solutions offer to mirror the success of its wider cable protection technology business, as it broadens its offer across global offshore wind and oil and gas markets.
