TenneT has awarded a three-year, plus extension, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) framework agreement to UK company, Ordtek.
Ordtek will be providing vital UXO consultancy services and client representation ahead of offshore power cable and platform installation operations in the German Bight.
TenneT has already completed twelve offshore grid connection projects in the German North Sea and is repeatedly confronted with munitions dumps on the routes.
The German Bight is a major area of development in the offshore wind market with this contract award covering a number of different developments, including DolWin5 which is the first offshore grid connection system connecting the wind turbines directly to the offshore converter platform, eliminating the need for substations.
