Business Line Manager Laura Smith explains how important this project is for Atlas. “Being a Dutch company, obviously we’re delighted to be involved with a Dutch project. We have provided personnel with a wide range of skill sets for a variety of positions to multiple clients. We have worked with TAGU on a variety of projects in recent years, which has allowed us to develop an understanding of how they work and in turn, provide long term employment opportunities for highly skilled professionals. We are delighted to have been asked to support TAGU with their cable lay activities on such an innovative project in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.”
Atlas Professionals will be working closely with TAGU and other companies, supplying key personnel such as Barge Masters, Tension operators, Riggers and Shift Superintendents to ensure a successful project.
Gemini will also have two export cables which will transport a 220 KV alternating current to Eemshaven seaport in the north of the Netherlands. Both cables will have an aluminium core, over 100 km long, and will connect to a transformer station where the voltage will be increased to 380 KV. The electricity will then be transported via a cable to Oudeschip, where a linkup will be made to the TenneT national power grid.
