Cabling underway

North Sea progress

Boskalis Subsea’s cable laying vessel, Stemat Spirit , is laying inter-array cables for EnBW’s 497MW Hohe See wind farm in the German North Sea. Loading of the first batch of cables began at the end of July. Boskalis is responsible for the supply, installation, burial, termination and testing of the seventy-nine 33kV inter-array cables. The company will also carry out the inter- array cable works on the adjacent 112MW Albatros, as well as interconnect the two wind farms. Hohe See is located 95km north of Borkum and 100km northwest of Helgoland, in the immediate vicinity of Albatros. Offshore construction of the two wind farms commenced in April 2018, with the installation of the first monopiles. Hohe See and Albatros are scheduled for full commissioning by 2019.

Deutsche Offshore Consult (DOC) is to supervise the inner array cable installation works at Trianel’s 200MW Borkum West 2.2 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea. DOC’s task will begin with cable loading and preparatory work for the cable pull-ins at the substation, as well as onboard the Seaway Aimery cable-laying vessel. Quality assurance and communication with the project office on land are also part of DOC’s work package. Cable laying and burial works will be carried out by Seaway Aimery and Seaway Moxie . The cabling consists of a total of four loops, and the inner array cables are magnetized so that they can be located after burial. The wind farm will feature 32 Senvion 6.3MW turbines and is scheduled to be fully operational before the end of 2019. The project will export power via the existing substation of the 200MW Borkum West 2.1 wind farm, which went online in 2015.
