Trelleborg has been awarded a contract to provide 86 integrated cable protection systems for RWE’s 342MW Kaskasi offshore wind farm project in the German North Sea.
Under the deal with Subsea 7’s renewables business unit Seaway 7, Trelleborg’s NjordGuard cable protection system will be used to protect inter array grid power cables on the project, from over-bending, abrasion and fatigue.
Production of the 86 NjordGuard cable protection systems will take place in Trelleborg’s manufacturing facility in the North of England.
Project engineering works will commence immediately, with installation activities scheduled for execution at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022.
Located 35 kilometers north of the island of Heligoland, RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm will feature 38 9MW wind turbine generators.
The wind turbine generators, as well as the offshore substation, will be installed on monopile foundations.
Trelleborg’s sales manager for renewables Daniel Bate said: “We are delighted that Seaway 7 has chosen Trelleborg’s NjordGuard cable protection system on what is a milestone project for us.
“Trelleborg have now supplied over 30 offshore wind projects worldwide, with this one seeing us continue to provide industry-leading protection solutions to the offshore wind market, whilst continuing our relationship with Seaway 7.”
