Heerema Marine Contractors has been awarded a foundation installation contract for EnBW’s 900MW He Dreiht offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The work will include the transport and installation of 64 monopiles and transition pieces.
Heerema will use the IHC IQIP double-walled noise mitigation system NMS-10,000, as well as other systems to reduce noise pollution.
Heerema chief executive Koos-Jan van Brouwershaven said: “We are delighted to be EnBW’s chosen contractor, and we must credit the Heerema team and our client for their excellent collaboration in finding the most suited solutions for the He Dreiht project.”
Heerema offshore wind director Jeroen van Oosten said: “We are committed to increasing our market share in large monopile installations for offshore wind, and are proud to be chosen to enable EnBW to deliver 900 MW of renewable energy.”
EnBW He Dreiht project director Jorn Dainghaus said: “Heerema is a contractor with a high level of experience and excellent technological know-how.
“We look forward to working with Heerema to develop and install our first subsidy-free offshore windpark.”
He Dreiht is located in the German North Sea, 90km northwest of Borkum and about 110km west of Heligoland.
It is scheduled to go into operation in 2025.
