Ørsted contracts Van Oord for cable installation at Greater Changhua offshore wind farms

Wednesday, September 18 2019

Van Oord has been awarded the contract by Ørsted for the cable installation works at the Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farms.

The wind farms are located between 35 and 60 kilometers off the west coast of Changhua County, Taiwan. Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farms will supply sustainable energy to approximately 1 million households per year.

Van Oord is responsible for the transportation, installation and burial of the 111 inter-array cables, with a total length of approximately 135 kilometers, and the 3 export cables, with a total of approximately 145 kilometers. To carry out the work, Van Oord will deploy its dedicated cable-laying vessel Nexus, equipped with a cable carousel with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes. Van Oord’s own trencher Dig-It will bury the cables to the required depth. The installation work starts in 2021.

Van Oord will work closely together with Taiwanese engineering service providers and support vessel owners to complete this cable installation project successfully.
