General – Modification
Boskalis reports that the subsea rock installation vessel Seapiper has just completed her first modification to further expand her capabilities.
After the first successful rock installation project in Australia earlier this year, the Seapiper was outfitted with a brand new inclined fallpipe in Singapore.
This fallpipe enables the vessel to install rock at an angle of up to 225 degrees. As a result, the Seapiper can install rock that serves as scour protection around foundations for offshore Wind Turbine Generators even more efficient and precise.
And that is exactly what the vessel is currently doing at the Yunlin offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
