United Kingdom : CWind Awarded TP Gate Contract
Publish Date : 11-Sep-2017
CWind, a leading provider of services to the offshore wind industry, announced that it has been awarded a contract by DONG Energy, to install new and retrofit existing gates on the transition pieces (TPs) at the Gode Wind and Borkum Riffgrund offshore wind farms, located in the North Sea off the coast of Northern Germany.
CWind, which is part of the Global Marine Group and delivers the Companys power capabilities, will use its own crew transfer vessels, assets and engineering expertise to help ensure the project is completed successfully and on time. The CWind Phantom, a 27.4m catamaran, will undertake the work on Gode Winds 97 turbines and Borkum Riffgrunds 77 turbines. Work began on 1 September 2017, with the first phase expected to be completed in eight weeks.
The entire project has been scheduled for completion within one year and will call upon the skills of eight of CWinds experienced electrical engineers and mechanical technicians, all of whom have benefited from training at the Companys in-house facility, the NWFTC (National Wind Farm Training Centres). Extensive navigational lighting and cable rerouting will be required to accommodate the new gates, demonstrating CWinds electrical engineering capability and capacity.
We have worked with DONG Energy for many years, including extensive prior work at Gode Wind, and we are pleased to continue our close business relationship, said Lee Andrews, Managing Director of CWind. The decision to utilise the same site team for the new project, to ensure consistency, has been well received by the client. Our aim is to always deliver successful projects with excellent customer service. The fact that DONG Energy has returned to CWind demonstrates our can-do attitude and our ability to get things right first time.
