Van Oord has accomplished the set up of all 50 foundations and inter-array cables for Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm, positioned offshore Germany.
Earlier in 2023, heavy-lift set up vessel Svanen put in the monopiles. The wind turbine foundations have been accomplished by Van Oord with the set up of the transition items.
Van Oord carried out the set up in two campaigns with Spliethoff’s Brouwersgracht and Jumbo’s Fairplayer, the Netherlands-based offshore engineering and companies supplier knowledgeable.
Just lately, Van Oord’s cable-laying vessel Nexus efficiently accomplished the set up of the inter-array cables.
These cables are used for connecting the offshore wind generators and transmitting electrical energy. Trencher Dig-It – a remotely-operated car (ROV) – buried the inter-array cables to the required depth.
The Dig-It has been personalized to make sure that it could deal with the difficult gentle soil circumstances within the Baltic Sea.
The termination and testing works of the IAC are in full swing and are anticipated to be accomplished within the first quarter of 2024.
The Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm is positioned within the German Baltic Sea, 30 kilometers northeast of the island of Rügen.
With a manufacturing capability of 476MW, Iberdrola’s Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm will be capable to ship renewable power to 475,000 households whereas decreasing carbon emissions by practically 1 million tones yearly.
