Petrofac’s team on the BorWin3 offshore grid connection project has transported the jacket to its final destination and installed it in the North Sea, nearly 130km off the German coast.

Having been lifted and positioned in a water depth of approximately 40m, the jacket will now await the arrival of the topside for connection.

Roberto Cecchini, Project Director said: “The safe and timely installation of the jacket represents another meaningful step forward towards the successful delivery of the BorWin Gamma platform. This is the result of well-coordinated cooperation and a spirit of partnership and determination established among the numerous parties involved.

“As we progress with the current critical stages of the project, there are still challenges ahead so we will remain vigilant, with a continued focus on delivery to complete the platform in line with our objectives and to the satisfaction of TenneT.”

The substructure for the topside was designed as a six-legged main pile jacket weighing 5,600 tonnes with an additional four skirt piles; overall weight of the piles is 4,800 tonnes.

Petrofac, in consortium with Siemens, were awarded the BorWin3 offshore grid connection project contract in 2014 by TenneT.

BorWin3 is a 900MW DC grid connection system of the Dutch-German transmission system operator TenneT. BorWin3 will convert three-phase electric power generated by offshore wind farms into direct current and transmit it 160km back to shore.
