Contract Details
Description
JD-Contractor A/S acted as the submarine cable installation contractor for the Great Belt power link (Storebælt HVDC), the 600 MW, 400 kV HVDC interconnection between Funen and Zealand in Denmark. In July 2009, JD-Contractor laid the 32 km submarine power cable section across the Great Belt using its cable-laying barge C/B Henry P. Lading. Its scope covered offshore installation of the HVDC conductor and associated subsea works for the single-cable monopole link, forming the undersea portion of the 58 km route. This work formed a key part of the construction phase, enabling Energinet.dk to physically connect the asynchronous eastern and western Danish transmission systems via the subsea interconnector.
