- The world’s largest offshore wind farm off the Yorkshire Coast (UK)
- Tideway will deploy DEME’s newest DP3 vessel ‘Living Stone’
BREDA (NL) | Tideway BV, a subsidiary of the Belgian dredging, environmental and marine engineering group DEME, announced with pride that the company has been awarded a Design and Build cable installation contract by DONG Energy for the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea Project One.
Tideway will deploy DEME’s newest DP3 vessel ‘Living Stone’ for this project; the most advanced subsea cable-laying vessel in the world, which is currently being built by the Spanish shipyard LaNaval near Bilbao, Spain. Delivery of the vessel, which is equipped with dual fuel engines where LNG is the primary fuel, is scheduled for April 2017.
The installation scope of work for Tideway includes cable-laying, pre-trenching, backfilling, pre- sweeping, route preparation and rock placement of three high voltage subsea power cables from the shore to three different offshore substation platforms, as well as the installation of two interlink cables. The power cables will be pulled ashore near Horseshoe Point immediately south of the Humber Estuary.
