Eemits Enhances Site Security at New SeAH Wind Factory

Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Eemits Communications announced that the company is proud to reveal the work it has been undertaking during the construction of the new SeAH Wind monopile factory in Teesside. 

To help the site remain safe and secure, the company provides Wilson James - and contracters on site - with reliable communication, in the form of two-way radios and site infrastructure. The radio devices ensure construction work continues at pace, and site safety and security risks are minimised.

The partneship comes following a successful SeAH Wind "meet the buyer" event - where representatives from Eemits and Wilson James struck up an agreement that sees both companies working alongside each other to help construct the soon-to-be world's largest monopile factory. 

The site sits at Teesworks (part of Teesside's Freeport), and the investment in the area is helping businesses like Eemits to secure crucial contract wins. 

Making Teesworks work for local businesses

Speaking about the SeAH Wind project at Teesworks, Craig Matthews, Managing Director of Eemits Communications, said:

As a local telecommunications provider, we’ve seen the region transition over the years from heavy industry to renewable energy. The investment and projects being brought to Teesworks is not only helping Teesside lead the way in renewables, but it’s allowing businesses like ours to evolve, grow, and create new jobs for local people. We currently work across the energy mix on a national basis, so it’s fantastic that we’ve been able to implement our expertise, and deliver reliable two-way communication, on a site that will become pivotal for the area once complete.

Martin Corney, Teesworks CEO, said:

It’s been good to see work at SeAH Wind’s facility taking shape with jobs created for hundreds of Teessiders during its construction. It’s even more pleasing to see an established local firm in Eemits Communications benefitting from what we’re all doing at Teesworks. It goes to show the depth of expertise we have on Teesside. We want as many good local firms as possible involved in our wider vision for the site.

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said:

Eemits Communications are a great example of a company with pedigree benefitting from Teesworks and ensuring good, well-paid jobs are created for local people. To see a local firm visit a supplier event, find an opportunity, and be given the opportunity to grasp it is exactly what we want to do with global companies on site and our Joint Venture partners. With Net Zero Teesside Power and thousands of jobs to come, we want to see more companies in supply chains across Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool involved and thriving on the back of Teesworks’ success.
