Ramboll has been contracted by China Steel Power Corporation to deliver the full jacket foundation design for the 300MW Zhong Neng offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
The Danish engineering outfit will provide conceptual, FEED, and detailed designs for the primary and secondary structure of the jacket foundations, piles, and transition pieces, including parts of the metocean assessment, as well as manufacturing and installation support.
“This project highlights the growing importance of renewables on Taiwan’s agenda and we are honoured that China Steel Power Corporation has chosen us to assist with the design development of the jacket foundations,” Andreas Willecke, head of department at Ramboll.
“Resilient and durable design solutions are essential in the harsh offshore environment of Taiwan and we are excited to share our in-depth and unique expertise.”
The Zhong Neng offshore wind farm is located about 20km off the west coast of Changhua County in Taiwan.
The 300 MW offshore wind farm is co-developed by China Steel Corporation and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and is scheduled for completion in 2024.
