Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH (ILG), a subsidiary of the Germany-based steelmaker Salzgitter Group, has announced that it has received an order from Siemens Wind Power A/S to supply around 15,200 mt of steel plate to construct the tubular steel masts for the Meerwind Offshore Wind Park to be located 50 km off the German coast in the North Sea.
 
As SteelOrbis previously reported, in September 2011 ILG was awarded an order from AMBAU GmbH for materials for the mast foundations. This new contract means that ILG will be supplying all of the steel, totaling more than 85,000 mt for the masts for the wind farm which covers an area of 42 km² out in the North Sea.
 
The start of construction has been scheduled for the end of 2012 and commissioning will take place at the end of 2013.
