TATA Steel is investing GBP 2 million in its Hartlepool tube works and has signed a supply deal with German steel tube producer Eisenbau Kramer EBK to rev up its product and service offering to the offshore renewable energy sector. Growing activity in the renewables sector will require large volumes of jacket fabrications for wind tower structures. The Hartlepool development will establish a central supply base for steel tubular sections to be used in the fabrication of wind turbine steel foundation structures, known as jacket foundations. Work on the site is scheduled to begin in October and to be complete by spring next year.
