UK engineering company LOC has won a contract to provide marine warranty services for the development of the 350MW Jieyang 2 offshore wind farm in China.
The contract, which is specifically for transport and installation operation support services, has been inked with Shanghai-headquartered China Pacific Insurance Co.
Under the agreement, LOC China will provide document review and verification of all critical marine operations and procedures, including on-site attendance to approve procedures.
The scope of work will also include vessel suitability surveys to support the project for the duration of critical operations. The work is anticipated to start in August 2020.
Jieyang 2 will consist of 64 wind turbines and a 220kV offshore booster station. The turbines will be connected to the booster station through 16 circuits of 35kV submarine cable.
The wind farm is owned by State Power Investment Group, one of the major electricity generation companies in mainland China, and Guangdong Electric Power Co, a company involved in the investment, construction, operation and management of electric power projects, mainly in the Guangdong province of China.
LOC China managing director Shi Wenchao, said: “The Jieyang 2 wind farm is a major project win and our first post the coronavirus pandemic in China. We are delighted to have won the contract and to be involved.”
“LOC has a strong position in renewables, based on extensive experience and knowhow, which, combined with our understanding and presence in the Chinese market, put us in a good position to win the work and deliver on the project.
“We are looking forward to getting started and contributing towards the delivery of the Jieyang 2 wind farm.”
