ESS awarded trenching and later seabed clearance/route preparation scope by Prysmian ahead of installation and burial of 81 km of submarine cables connecting turbines to offshore substation at Wikinger.
Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) was contracted by Prysmian Group to perform pre-cut seabed trenching ahead of inter-array cable lay at the Wikinger offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. The scope was later extended to include route clearance and seabed preparation, with ESS’s SCAR Seabed System carrying out first-pass and multi-pass trenching in preparation for Prysmian’s installation and burial of the 33 kV submarine cables linking the wind turbines to the offshore substation (81 km cable system referenced).
