The new production facility is expected to start production in mid-2017. Within the new building, Siemens will connect generators, hubs, and back-ends to assemble nacelles for offshore wind turbines.

One of the challenges of this complex large-scale project is the coordination of the building technology under time pressure.

In addition, the weather conditions at the construction site incur special demands on the project.

With this contract, Alpiq will demonstrate its expertise for the implementation of challenging large-scale building technology projects.
