General Substations Windfarms

Seaway Heavy Lifting's Oleg Strashnov has installed the jacket foundation for the second offshore substation at the Race Bank offshore wind farm. The vessel's next step is to install the 2900t topside onboard.

Both the topside and jacket foundation were built by Iemants and Engie Fabricom. The first substation was installed by the same vessel in August 2016.

The 573MW Race Bank project is located nearly 17 miles off the North Norfolk coast and will cover an area of approximately 29 square miles. It will consist of 91 Siemens SWT-6.0-154 wind turbines, each with a 6MW capacity and stand at 177m tall.

A2SEA's SEA INSTALLER has been outfitted with four massive adapter rings in preparation for its work at the Race Bank offshore wind farm. The four rings will be used as tower sea fastening on board. The vessel will install four turbines at a time and is expected to start work at the end of April.
