The data level is situated subsequent to the work website, close to The HangOut on Reyndersweg and is open to the general public each day throughout working hours. Within the blue info container, guests are knowledgeable concerning the actions associated to the cable set up and why that is essential to make the Dutch electrical energy manufacturing extra sustainable. On panels, guests can see how wind vitality is introduced from sea to land and what tools is used for the set up of the 2 subsea cables. The roof of the container affords guests an ideal view of the work website and the work that shall be carried out within the coming months.
Cable set up to kick off in Might
On the finish of March, two ‘cofferdams’ will first be constructed to bury the cables at a depth of six to eight meters within the seaside. As quickly because the preparations are accomplished a dredger shall be moored off the coast in April/Might “This ship will dredge sand roughly 500 meters off the coast, in order that the burial of the primary sea cable can begin in mid-Might. This cable is pulled from the ocean into the empty casing pipe below the dunes to the work website within the Sculpture Park. There, the 2 cables are linked underground with giant terminal blocks to the electrical energy cables on land”, explains environmental supervisor Richard Koenders on behalf of TenneT. The works below the dunes had been already carried out final 12 months by contractor NRG.
From Might, contractor NBOS (Boskalis / Orient Cables) will moor a number of vessels off the coast for the set up of the ocean cables. The cable layer will set up 4,5 km of cable. The top of the cable is then laid capped on the seabed and the entire operation is repeated for cable quantity two.
The seaside shall be closed twice per week earlier than retracting the cables. Throughout the work, the work website is monitored 24/7 and site visitors controllers guarantee secure passage for all passers-by. The development actions for the offshore wind farm connection will also be adopted within the TenneT BouwApp (Android and iOS). Supply: TenneT
