Vattenfall and Deutsche Windtechnik’s deal follows the successful execution of an earlier project on the 288MW DanTysk offshore windfarm in the North Sea, about 70km west of the island Sylt.

Deutsche Windtechnik’s offshore and consulting project manager Alexander Huth said: "We are delighted the trust in our work is growing and Vattenfall has involved us in the construction and commissioning of Sandbank at an early stage as part of client representation and quality management."

"Deutsche Windtechnik will act as a client representative and technical offshore representative."

Huth added: "We represent and protect our customer’s interests on site. Our goal is to ensure quality from the very beginning, as well as to detect and correct any flaws and deviations while they are still on land.
