Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) has designed, built and delivered a 700-tonne onshore carousel to a major international infrastructure group for storing cables for UK offshore wind projects.
The carousel has been designed with the capacity to be upgraded to 1700Te, the company said.
Design and project management phases were conducted at ESS headquarters in Banchory near Aberdeen, with partial manufacture undertaken at subsidiary MASfab in County Durham.
ESS project manager Kevin Harper said: “The delivery of this carousel, demonstrates Ecosse Subsea’s capability in designing, manufacturing and installation of bespoke infrastructure for use in the energy industries.
“Utilising our own in house design capabilities and fabrication facility gives us greater control and flexibility to ensure projects are delivered seamlessly and on schedule.”
It is the second onshore storage carousel ESS have delivered, having previously completed a 800Te offshore rated unit on behalf of a major renewables client.
