Cape Holland has secured a contract from Deme for the provision of a Cape VLT-640 Quad spread and a separate Cape VLT-640 unit. This Cape Vibro Lifting Technology will be used for installing 176 monopile foundations in the Atlantic Ocean for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) turbines.These monopiles, with a diameter of 8.5 meters and weighing as much as 1,500 tons, will be driven through the first layers of the seafloor using the Cape Vibro Lifting Tool, mitigating the risk of pile run. The final penetration of these monopiles will be accomplished using an impact hammer. Deme’s installation vessel, Orion, is scheduled to set sail for the USA with the equipment already mobilised on deck.
