VolkerWessels business unit Visser & Smit Hanab has won a €30m contract to install cabling for the 316MW Fryslan offshore wind farm at Ijsselmeer lake in the Netherlands.
Visser & Smit Hanab will install two 110kV sections totalling 25km in length on a route through the Afsluitdijk and along the A7 road to Bolsward.
The first 15km section at Afsluitdijk will be constructed in 2019, the second 10km part in the province of Friesland in 2020.
Fryslan will be linked to shore at the Breezanddijk transformer station with the new cabling linking it to TenneT’s Dutch grid.
Visser & Smit Hanab director Kenneth de Wit said: “This project fits perfectly with our ambition to actively contribute to sustainable energy projects within the framework of the energy transition.”
