Tekmar Energy has been awarded the contract to supply cable protection systems (CPS) for the Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm in Germany by Global Offshore.
Arcadis Ost 1 is a 257MW offshore wind project developed by Parkwind in the Baltic Sea, northeast of the island of Rügen in Germany.
Under the supply contract, Tekmar Energy will design, manufacture, and supply its latest generation of TekTube CPS to protect the wind farms array cables as they transition from the seabed into the wind turbine foundation at 27 separate locations.
The CPS will be manufactured at Tekmar Energy’s state-of-the-art facility in the North East of England and delivered to Global Offshore in 2022.
Tekmar Group’s comprehensive engineering capability and unrivalled industry experience make it uniquely positioned to deliver the optimum cable protection solution.
This was demonstrated by Tekmar Energy working alongside fellow group companies Ryder Geotechnical, Subsea Innovation and AgileTek Engineering to engineer and optimise CPS for Arcadis Ost 1.
Tekmar Energy managing director Marc Bell said: “We are delighted that Global Offshore has selected Tekmar Energy’s Generation 10 CPS technology to protect Arcadis Ost 1.
