The project is being developed as a joint equity partnership of 25% each between RWE Innogy UK, UK Green Investment Bank, Siemens Financial Services and Macquarie Capital.

The company is responsible for providing inspection and surveillance planning services such as assurance, quality, control and audit services on the sub-sea high voltage cable and the offshore platform that are currently under construction.

Parsons Brinckerhoff quality services division project management head Ian Matthews said: "This is a crucial project for the region and the whole of the UK which we are proud to be a part of. The team will build on its successful experience gained at the Gwynt y Môr and Greater Gabbard projects to ensure that construction exceeds quality standards.

"Renewables have a fundamental role to play as part of a balanced energy mix and WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff is committed to supporting major UK energy suppliers in this field."

The wind farm will feature 56 Siemens wind turbines each with a capacity of 6MW, totaling 336MW that will be transmitted to an onshore substation at Sizewell via the sub-sea high voltage cable.

Upon entering service in March 2018, the wind farm will be able to cater to the electricity needs of up to 336,000 households in the country.

To be built 27km off the Suffolk coast, the Galloper wind farm will create 700 jobs during construction and around 90 jobs once operational.

Parsons Brinckerhoff was also involved in the development of other renewable projects such as Eden Deep geothermal plant and the Gateshead District Energy Centre by providing a wide range of services ranging from feasibility studies and project development to design and delivery.

In July last year, the company’s UK environmental team helped Watt Power in securing planning for two new gas-fired power stations in the UK.
