Description
VBMS carried out installation of the export cable for the Nordergründe offshore grid connection. In 2016 the company installed and completed approximately 26.5 km of 155 kV export cable connecting the Nordergründe offshore wind farm to the onshore substation near Inhausen, Germany. The work included offshore laying of the export cable, pull-in through the BSS-II structure and through an empty tube below the dike near Hooksiel, and pull-in at the onshore substation. Part of the sea cable was temporarily stored on the seabed in the wind farm area pending completion of the offshore substation, after which it would be connected and the grid connection taken into operation. This scope covered marine and nearshore installation activities during the construction phase; VBMS did not supply the cable itself.
