Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation has been awarded a contract by Seaway 7, Subsea 7’s renewables business unit, to provide 86 integrated cable protection systems for RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm project, located in the North Sea, Germany. Trelleborg’s NjordGuard cable protection system will be used to protect inter array grid power cables on the project, from over-bending, abrasion, and fatigue.

Production of the 86 NjordGuard cable protection systems will take place in Trelleborg’s manufacturing facility in the North of England. Project engineering works will commence immediately, with installation activities scheduled for execution at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022.
 
NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables in wind turbine generators and offshore substations. Assembled on a cable lay vessel, the system is manufactured in highly abrasion resistant and API 17L certified Uraduct material. This enables the protection system to travel over the seabed without damage, extending the system life. It facilitates easier installation, reuse, and removal without diver and ROV intervention.
 
Daniel Bate, Sales Manager for renewables at Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation, states: “’We are delighted that Seaway 7 has chosen Trelleborg’s NjordGuard cable protection system on what is a milestone project for us. Trelleborg have now supplied over 30 offshore wind projects worldwide, with this one seeing us continue to provide industry-leading protection solutions to the offshore wind market, whilst continuing our relationship with Seaway 7.”

Kaskasi offshore wind farm is located 35 kilometers north of the island of Heligoland. It will feature 38  SGRE SG 8.0-167 DD Flex offshore wind turbines installed on monopile foundations.  It is expected that the wind farm will start operations in summer 2022.
