Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore and Consulting and Corrosion are working together on the maintenance of foundation structures at four offshore wind farms.
The agreement covers a total of 284 ICCP systems for which Corrosion has to fulfil the warranty obligations – 81 in Butendiek, 81 in Dan Tysk, 81 in Meerwind and 41 in Trianel Windpark Borkum West 2.
Deutsche Windtechnik is responsible for the functioning of the overall system, which includes inspection, maintenance and the performance of any necessary repairs.
Corrosion is a manufacturer and provider of ICCP systems. It will give the personnel of Deutsche Windtechnik special training for the ICCP system, and ensure the free supply of parts, provide documentation along with engineering support.
An electrical ICCP system protects steel foundation structures at offshore wind farms against corrosion damage. Microsensors mounted on the foundations in combination with a switchbox installed in the transition piece ensure remote monitoring of 24 hours a day.
Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore und Consulting division manager operation & maintenance Ingo Hälke said: “For the maintenance of the ICCP systems, we provide personnel who are already working at the respective wind farm, which as a result saves the customer work and expense, for example, in the areas of logistics, transport and access control.”
