Wind Energy – Nordseecluster
DeepOcean has received a firm order for RWE’s Nordseecluster A offshore wind project in Germany.
DeepOcean’s scope of work includes trenching, transport and installation of all inter-array cables with adjacent services for all wind turbines of Nordseecluster A.
RWE has recently made the final investment decision for its entire Nordseecluster, involving offshore wind projects with a total capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW).
The Nordseecluster will be constructed in two phases: Nordseecluster A and Nordseecluster B. The wind farms will be built in the German North Sea, about 50 kilometres north of the island of Juist.
In total, DeepOcean will install 185 kilometres of 66kV aluminium and copper cables to connect all 44 offshore wind turbines of Nordseecluster A.
DeepOcean’s scope of work also includes project management and engineering; offshore preparation work including pre-installation cable route survey, route engineering and burial assessment, boulder relocation, foundation preparatory work and offshore substation preparatory work; transport and installation of inter-array cables including burial, pull-in, monitoring and testing; as well as seabed surveys and monitoring.
