Cable Installation Contract Van Oord
Van Oord has been awarded the contract for cable installation works at the Borssele I & II offshore windfarm. The windfarm has a capacity of 752MW and will be located 23km off the coast of the Netherlands.
Borssele I & II will supply enough renewable energy to meet the needs of approximately one million households each year. Construction of the offshore windfarm is scheduled for 2020.
Van Oord is responsible for the transportation, installation and burial of the 94 inter array cables with a total length of 167km. Van Oord will deploy its dedicated cable-laying vessel Nexus for the installation of the cables. Brand-new trencher Dig-It will bury the cables to the required depth of 2m.
Earlier this year Van Oord has been awarded contracts for the Borssele III & IV windfarms and the Borssele V innovation project. By winning the cable installation contract for Borssele I & II, Van Oord now can show its capabilities in the construction of the entire Borssele wind project.
