VBMS has been awarded two contracts worth €200m to supply and install export and array cables at the 336MW Galloper offshore wind farm in the UK.
The group has signed a consortium with NKT cables to tackle the supply and installation of two 45km export cables including route preparation, landfall operations, burial, termination and testing.
The second contract is for the supply and installation of 56 inter-array cables, for which the cabling specialist has contracted the UK-based cable supplier JDR.
Installation of the first export cable is slated for 2016, followed by installation of the second export cable and inter-array cables in 2017.
VBMS chief executive Arno van Poppel: “We are looking forward to displaying the specialist expertise that has been brought together for these projects. Our valuable experience with similar projects such as Nordsee Ost for our client RWE Innogy, allows us to use our technology and expertise in order to successfully deliver these prestigious projects.”
