Tekmar … will work with … as the cable suppliers. Van Oord will install 87 cable protection systems … one for the export cable and six for array cables.
Tekmar was contracted to support Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm, a 50/50 Eneco and Mitsubishi Corporation development located 23 km off Noordwijk in the Netherlands and equipped with 43 Vestas V112-3.0 MW turbines. Tekmar’s scope related to cable-related hardware required for safe cable protection and interface management on the project’s electrical systems. Under the work package referenced, Tekmar was engaged alongside the project’s cable suppliers to deliver cable protection systems (CPS) for offshore installation by Van Oord. The cited report stated that Van Oord would install 87 cable protection systems in total, including bellmouths and other protection hardware. The overall CPS quantity included components for both the export cable and array cables; Tekmar’s role is therefore relevant to the inter-array system as part of the array-cable protection solution. The same source noted this was Tekmar’s third contract award from Van Oord connected to Eneco Luchterduinen and referenced earlier collaboration on designs for J-tubes for the offshore substation and for foundation cable interfaces. No contract award date, contract value, or breakdown of CPS types by array versus export system was provided in the cited source.
