In August 2015, fabrication of the first project at the Offshore Structures Britain facilities (OSB) in Great Britain was started up. The contract was for a total of 32 transition pieces for the Burbo Bank Extension Offshore Wind Farm - awarded by EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH. 16 transition pieces were fabricated at the OSB facilities, while the remaining 16 were fabricated at Bladt Industries' site in Aalborg, Denmark. All 32 transition pieces have a height of 23 metres and a diameter of 6.5 metres. Each transition piece has 236 tons of primary steel, and weighs a total of 450 tons including the concrete platform. The wind farm has a total of 32 wind turbines and a total capacity of 258 MW making enough energy to meet the needs of up to 230,000 households.
