Wind Energy – He Dreiht
Buss Terminal Eemshaven (BTE) successfully completed the handling and load-out of monopiles and transition pieces for the EnBW offshore wind farm He Dreiht.
Spanning from January until August 2024 this project marks a significant achievement for our team and the broader renewable energy sector.
He Dreiht is a pioneering project that will feature 64 wind turbines and is going to have an installed capacity of 960 MW.
Situated approximately 90 kilometers northwest of the island of Borkum and 110 kilometers west of Helgoland, the wind farm will be a benchmark of the European energy transition and will be able to supply 1.1 million households with renewable energy when it’s connected to the grid at the end of 2025.
Serving as Base Port for He Dreiht, BTE played a key role in the project’s success. BTE was the center for unloading massive monopiles, with a diameter of 9,2 meters, lengths of up to seventy-one meters and a massive weight up to 1.350 tons. The 35-metre-high transition pieces bring 640 tons to the scales.
The terminal also managed the storage of these components, and their subsequent loading onto seagoing barges for installation. Beyond the terminal logistics in Eemshaven, the engineering and project management aspects associated with the logistics scope of this project, were covered by the Team of Buss Offshore Solutions in Hamburg.
