Consulting and engineering firm LOC has won a contract to provide marine warranty services to support the development of the Jieyang Shenquan 1 offshore wind farm, located in the South Sea area of Shenquan Town in southern China.
Under the terms of the agreement, LOC China will provide document review, marine assurance and on-site inspections for all critical marine operations.
The scope of work will also include inspections of the proposed support fleet, as well as risk assessment and management meetings ahead of critical marine operations.
The Jieyang Shenquan 1 offshore wind farm is owned by State Power Investment Group, one of mainland China’s major electricity generation companies, and Guangdong Electric Power Co, a company involved in the investment, construction, operation and management of electric power projects.
The wind farm will consist of 73 wind turbines of 5.5MW each, with a total installed capacity of 400MW.
The project will also involve the building of an offshore booster station, which will be connected to the turbines through 16 circuits of submarine cable.
Work on the project is expected to commence in August 2020.
