Work involves the design, procurement, fabrication, delivery, transportation, and implementation of eleven suction bucket jacket foundations and scour protection.
The combination of these jacket foundations with such large wind turbines will be the first of its kind and will use high-capacity 66kV power cables.
Through its subsidiary VBMS, Boskalis Westminster will also be responsible for the procurement, delivery, transportation, and deployment of 66kV inter array and export cables. The Dutch construction company company will also have to provide a turbine transportation and installation vessel.
Work on the new Aberdeen Offshore Windfarm is expected to begin in September next year, and completed in Q2, 2018.
