Siem win contract for offshore wind farm
A wholly owned subsidiary of Siem Offshore has been awarded a contract for work at the Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm Project One (HOW01) by DONG Energy Wind Power A/S.
Siem Offshore Contractors GmbH (SOC) will install parts of the inner array grid cable system at the offshore wind farm off the Yorkshire coast.
The contract aims to demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to expansion into the offshore renewable energy market, and builds upon the recent establishment of a UK office by SOC in Aberdeen.
HOW01 covers approximately 407 km² and comprises 174 wind turbine generators, which will be inter-connected by 33 kV medium voltage alternating current submarine composite cables.
SOC’s scope of work includes the installation of 81 submarine composite cables as well as the associated post-lay trenching works.
The project engineering works will commence immediately, and the marine installation works are currently scheduled to be undertaken in the last quarter of 2018.
