Heerema Fabrication Group is set to manufacture the pre-piling template for the Greater Changhua offshore wind project in Taiwan.
The pre-piling template consists of three pile sleeves connected by framing including hydraulically adjustable pile guides and mudmats, the Dutch firm said in a statement.
Heerema Vlissingen will fabricate the steel structure and assist with commissioning.
Heerema Marine Contractors has been assigned the transport and installation of 111 turbine foundations and the installation of two offshore substations for the Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind projects in Taiwan.
The offshore work at the Greater Changhua projects is scheduled to be finalised by end of 2021.
Fabrication begins in June 2020 and completion is scheduled for Q4 2020.
The offshore wind farms will feature Siemens Gamesa 8MW turbines installed between 35 to 50km off the coast. They will have a total capacity of around 900MW.
