Seacore's purpose-built eight legged jack-up platform Excalibur has been towed to the site and will be used as a stable working platform to install the 1.62m diameter tubular steel foundation monopile, which will be driven into the seabed by a Menck piling hammer.

A working platform will be welded in situ onto the installed monopile prior to Seacore erecting the met mast tower with Excalibur's onboard Demag crane. Some of the anemometry equipment will be left on the monopile platform for installation by third parties contracted to other consortium members.

The met mast tower, complete with anemometry, temperature probes and electronic recording and transmitting equipment, will be used by Energi E2, to remotely monitor wind and weather conditions to determine if the site is suitable for a proposed offshore wind power station.

Seacore has proven expertise in met mast and offshore wind farm installation, including the 60MW North Hoyle wind farm, currently one of the largest offshore wind farms in the UK, the UK's first offshore wind farm in the North Sea off the coast of Blyth, Northumberland and the Swedish Yttre Stengrund and Gotland wind farms in the Baltic Sea. The company has also been involved with the erection of some of the turbines at Scroby Sands near Great Yarmouth and met masts at Arklow, Gunfleet Sands off the Essex coast, plus Shell Flats, Rhyl and North Hoyle all off the north west coast.
