Seaway Heavy Lifting has been awarded a contract for engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the turbine foundations for the Trianel Windpark Borkum II wind farm on the German continental shelf.
According to the company, the award is still subject to financial close of the full project which is expected in the first half of 2017.
The Trianel Windpark Borkum II wind farm is located 45 km North of Borkum Island in the German bight. The 203 Megawatt offshore wind farm comprises 32 wind turbines of 6,3 MW each. Each foundation consists of a monopile and a transition piece.
Project management and engineering has already started at Seaway Heavy Lifting’s offices in Hamburg and Zoetermeer.
