The Lincs Wind Farm is a proposed wind farm to be built 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) off Skegness on the east coast of England.Construction of the 270 megawatt (MW) project will begin in 2010 using 3.6 MW Siemens Wind Power‎ wind turbines. The project, due to be operational in 2012, will cost £725 million ($1.2 billion) and will be able to supply 200,000 customers.Construction began in March 2011.

MC Construction were contracted to fabricate and install all of the sea fastening structures for the first phase of the project, which involves installing the Monopiles and the transition pieces in the field.

Additionally we were asked to construct a hydraulically operated Monopile Upending Frame, which is utilised to lift the 400t Monopiles from the horizontal sea fastening position up to the vertical installation position.
