Tekmar Energy has won a contract award from Van Oord to supply the Generation 10 cable protection system (CPS) for the 476MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
The work scope comprises the engineering, manufacturing, testing and supply of its latest generation of CPS technology to protect subsea array and inter-platform cables as they transition between the seabed, offshore turbines and offshore substation.
The CPS will be delivered on behalf of EPC contractor Van Oord, which has previously installed Tekmar Energy CPS on various offshore wind farms including Fryslan, Borssele and Deutsche Bucht.
Tekmar Energy will manufacture systems and accessories at its Newton Aycliffe facility in north east England for delivery in late 2022.
Van Oord project director Henk-Jan van Dijk said: “We are pleased to continue our strong working relationship with Tekmar Energy, a familiar, reliable and proven CPS partner.”
Tekmar Energy managing director Russell Edmondson said: “We are delighted to secure this new award from Van Oord which strengthens our long-standing relationship that has delivered successful offshore wind projects over the years, particularly in Europe, which remains the largest market for offshore wind installations in the world.
“It is testament to our continued investment in CPS technology, to safeguard subsea assets in increasingly challenging environments.”
