CTCI Machinery Corporation (CTCI MAC), the manufacturer of pin piles for the Changfang & Xidao Offshore Wind Farm, completed the manufacture and acceptance of second batch of 69 pin piles in November, one month ahead of schedule.

It follows news inn June this year that the first batch of 48 pin piles have been delivered, also ahead of schedule by 1.5 months. In all, 117 pin piles contracted by CTCI MAC among 186 needed at the wind farm have been completed up to quality standard.

Dennis Sanou, CEO of CFXD Offshore Wind Farm, comments, “Not only did CTCI MAC meet our requirements on quality, pricing, and delivery timeline, they are a leading local supplier that gives significant attention to keeping high HSE (health, safety, and environment) standards, and maintains high level of professionalism in contract execution.”

Yun-Peng Tan, Chairman of CTCI MAC, said: “Through a series of learning opportunities and customer verification processes in this project, we have not only gradually mastered key technologies and know-how of the industry, but have also gained experience and built track records. By adopting multiple submerged arc-welding machines simultaneously, we were able to greatly cut manufacturing time and increase both efficiency and quality. We will stay committed to supporting localization of Taiwan's offshore wind power industry.”

Located 13-15 km off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan, the ChangFang and Xidao (CFXD) wind farm has a planned capacity of 595MW. CFXD reached Financial Close in February 2020 and construction of the project is progressing as planned towards commercial operations date in Q1 of 2024. It will consist of 62 MHI Vestas V174-9.5 MW wind turbines.
