Irish joint venture tipped to scoop £90 million Green Port of Hull contract

Ireland-based firms Lagan and Graham Construction have been tipped for the £90 million contract to build the Green Port of Hull.

According to the Construction Enquirer, partnership will rebuild the Alexandra Dock paving the way for Siemens to build an offshore wind farm assembly facility.

Siemens is committing £160 million to the scheme with Associated British Ports investing a further £150 million in the three year programme which will involve construction of a quay on the River Humber

The project gained full planning in September, allowing preparation work to get underway later this month.

Up to 300 jobs will be created during construction, with the manufacturing and assembly plant eventually employing 700 highly skilled engineering workers.
