Seaway 7 has awarded CRP Subsea a contract to provide 140 NjordGuard cable protection systems and bellmouths for the 589MW Changfang and Xidao (CFXD) offshore wind farms located off the west coast of Taiwan.
The cable protection systems and bellmouths will protect the inter-array and export power cables for 62 wind turbines and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) conduit cables, from fatigue damage due to the significant wave and current forces in the region.
CRP Subsea Global CPS manager Andy Smith said: “We are delighted CRP Subsea was awarded a major contract to supply NjordGuard cable protection systems for Seaway 7.
“By collaborating with our customers and understanding their technical requirements, we can support them and create ease of doing business by enhancing their projects.”
Production of the 140 NjordGuard systems and bellmouths will take place in CRP Subsea’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the North West of England.
Project engineering works will commence immediately, with project commissioning split into two phases scheduled for completion in 2022 and 2023.
NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables in wind turbine generators and offshore substation platforms.
The Changfang and Xidao offshore wind farms located 11 to 25 kilometres off the west coast of Taiwan, are expected to provide clean energy to nearly 1.75 million homes in Taiwan for the next 20 years.
