Canyon Offshore Ltd, a subsidiary of Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc., has been contracted alongside VBMS Ltd to provide trenching solutions for the inter array cables at Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm.

The contract illustrates that VBMS will be responsible for the lay and burial of the inter array cables. In turn Canyon Offshore will utilise the primary trenching solution of its jet trencher, T1200 (Pictured below), together with its hard ground trencher, iTrencher. The combination of the trenchers will ensure that the prescribed burial depth is acheived. Two work class ROVs ,remotely operated vehicles, will assist and be mobilised from a single support vessel, the Grand Canyon.

John Davies, Canyon’s Business Acquisition and Development Manager, said, “This now further extends Canyon Offshore’s project profile; Canyon having successfully buried hundreds of kilometers of inter array cable within the Offshore Wind sector. Canyon Offshore works across diverse markets and uses its core project delivery strengths together with its most capable assets and offshore personnel to meet and exceed its customers’ and their clients’ expectations.”

Gary Aylmer, Vice President of Canyon Offshore added, “We are very pleased to once again be working with VBMS and also especially pleased to have Statoil and Statkraft as the end clients. We have worked for Statoil and Statkraft on many occasions directly or as a sub-contractor within the project supply chain. This project will see Canyon Offshore’s primary trenching solution used to optimize the burial of the cables from one of the most weather resilient vessels that can be used for such operations. We feel this will be a key differentiator as wind farms move further offshore.”

The Statoil, Masdar and Stakraft Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm will be located in water that is between 18-25m deep on a 35 km² site located 32 km [20 miles] off the coast of the seaside town of Cromer in North Norfolk. Expected to have a capacity of 402MW the offshore wind farm will power 400,000 households with renewable energy. The wind farms 67 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 6MW turbines are to be installed by A2SEA's purpose-built offshore installation vessel SEA INSTALLER.
