Veja Mate will have a capacity of 400MW and is located in the German section of the North Sea, 130 kilometers north of Eemshaven. Work scope included the design, procurement, manufacture, transport and installation (including scour protection) of the foundations – consisting of enormous monopiles and transition pieces – for 67 wind turbines.
Veja Mate Offshore Project is pleased to announce the completion of installation of all its foundations, as last TP was installed at 01:05 AM, on 27th of October 2016. Construction began in April 2016 and as of today foundation contractor Offshore Wind Force VM (OWF), part of Boskalis, successfully installed all 67 foundations in the German North Sea by using the world´s largest Jack-up vessel, Scylla for monopile and the Zaratan for transition piece installation.
Rasmus Miller, Foundation Package Manager, said “Project work has its ups and downs, but it is never boring. We had our fair share of challenges to overcome and without everyone staying ahead of the game, it was close to impossible to achieve project success. I am therefore extremely proud to say that everyone on our Veja Mate and OWF teams, stepped up to the plate and tackled our challenges head-on.”
The next steps in the construction of our windfarm will be to complete the energization of the Offshore Substation, the installation of the inter array cables and subsequently the wind turbines.
