CWind is to deliver all cable pull-in services for 66 turbines and the offshore substation at the 396MW Merkur wind farm in the German North Sea.
The contract was awarded by DEME company Tideway.
CWind said pre-project engineering is underway and it expects to be on site by September to deliver the main cable pull-in campaign.
Cable termination and testing training for the Tideway team is currently being arranged at CWind’s Barrow-in-Furness facility, the company said.
Tideway is operating DEME’s new subsea cable installation and trenching vessel Living Stone, which will install Nexans array cables at the project starting in September.
CWind managing director Lee Andrews said: “With pre-project engineering already in progress, this prestigious project supports our group vision of engineering a clean and connected future for the offshore power sector.”
Merkur will consist of 66 GE Haliade 150 6MW turbines and is planned to be completed by the end of 2018.
