EDS HV Group, part of James Fisher and Sons, has been awarded a cable termination and testing contract for RWE’s 857MW Triton Knoll development.
The contract for the 90-turbine site off the English coast involves the installation and termination of high voltage cables between the offshore foundations and the turbine switchgear.
This includes pre-testing, mock-up trials, with cable preparation having already been undertaken in late 2020.
The award represents the latest in a series of recent project wins for James Fisher in the renewables market with the contract building on previous site preparation / UXO removal work undertaken at Triton Knoll in 2019.
EDS HV termination and testing business manager Lee Glendening said: “We are highly experienced in this type of complex work, which requires multi-skilled teams working in rotation to meet a scheduled deadline.
“We have an enviable reputation for high-quality termination experience and engineering expertise, having completed over 9000 terminations without failure.
“This particular project includes onshore project management supported by an EDS HV HSE Advisor with technical engineering support.
“Due to the location we can work from the strategically positioned EDS HV base in Grimsby that supports the local economy and RWE Renewables’ aspiration of achieving at least 50% local content during construction of Triton Knoll.”
