The developers of the 900MW Triton Knoll offshore wind farm are to give prospective contractors tours of the onshore cable route over the next few weeks.
The visits are intended to help major contractors prepare to tender for the project’s onshore cable work.
“The sessions will provide an opportunity for prospective contractors to fully understand the overall site, ensuring their final contract tender offers are realistic, appropriately-costed and deliverable,” the developers said.
The proposed onshore export cable route is almost 60km in length and runs from the landfall location at Anderby Creek, through to Bicker Fen where the power generated by the project connect to the grid.
Triton Knoll project director James Cotter said: “By providing this opportunity to visit the cable route and meet our teams, we hope to give potential contractors a real awareness of the work ahead.
“That way, their subsequent tender offers will be well informed, appropriate to the needs of the land owners, neighbouring communities and the project.”
Triton Knoll will be located approximately 32km off the Lincolnshire coast and 50km off the coast of north Norfolk.
It is being developed as a 50:50 joint venture between Innogy Renewables UK and Statkraft.
