Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus has completed the installation of all 77 MHI Vestas V164-9.5 MW turbines at the Borssele 3&4 offshore wind farm.

As the Balance of Plant contractor for the Borssele 3&4, Van Oord was responsible for the design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of the foundations and inter array cables. In addition the Aeolus was deployed for the transport and installation of the wind turbines. In April, Van Oord installed the last of 77 monopiles. Cable installation vessel Nexus and trencher Dig-It completed the installation and burial of more than 170 kilometres of inter array cables.

"Good project execution starts with great preparation and planning; the start date of turbine installation was picked in 2017 and happened precisely on that day in May this year. Overcoming many additional challenges in this extraordinary year required even more collaboration between all key parties, and led to a successful completion of the installation phase," commented Roeland Borsboom, Project Director for Blauwwind.
