Sea & Land Project Engineering has secured a contract for the detailed design of the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore transformer station jacket and foundations.

The offshore transformer station consists of a 45-meter-high jacket of 1,930 Tonnes and 870 Tonnes piles to be placed in 24-meter water depth supporting a topside structure consisting of 4 decks weighing approximately 4,100 Tonnes.

Engineering activities have commenced and construction work for the topside and jacket will start in October 2020. Load-out of the jacket is planned for the Q3 2021. The topside is scheduled to leave the yard in Hoboken in the spring of 2022.

TenneT TSO B.V. selected joint venture ENGIE Fabricom – Iemants (a subsidiary of Smulders) to construct an offshore transformer station for the Hollandse Kust Noord wind farm zone.

Iemants, a subsidiary of Smulders, is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the steel structures for both the topside and jacket. All works will be performed at the Smulders’ production facilities in Arendonk, Balen and Hoboken (Belgium). The topside will be transferred to the ENGIE Fabricom yard for final assembly. The jacket will be assembled at the yard in Vlissingen (the Netherlands).

ENGIE Fabricom is responsible for the engineering, procurement, integration, construction and testing (on- and offshore) of all LV, MV, HV and auxiliary systems for the jacket and topside of the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore transformer station. The engineering, procurement, construction, integration and onshore testing for the topside systems will take place at the ENGIE Fabricom yard in Hoboken (Belgium). For the jacket, these activities will take place in Vlissingen.

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has closed the subsidy-free tender for the Hollandse Kust Noord Wind Farm Zone in the North Sea in May. It received several applications for the 700 MW project site. The RVO will assess these applications and expects to announce the winner of the permit in the coming months. The site is expected to account for approximately 2.5% of the total current electricity consumption in the Netherlands.
