Cape Holland, part of Venterra Group, has secured a contract with CDWE for the Fengmiao offshore wind farm in Taiwan. The company will supply its Cape VLT-640 tandem vibro lifting tool for the pre-installation of foundation piles and offshore substation piles.
The project is located in the Taiwan Strait around 36 kilometres off the coast of Taichung City, in water depths of 53 to 64 metres. The wind farm will have a total capacity of 500 MW and include 33 wind turbine generator positions using 15 MW turbines.
The offshore substation foundation will consist of a four-legged jacket structure with four post-installed skirt piles, each measuring 4.6 metres in diameter and weighing up to 810 tonnes. Foundation piles will have the same diameter and weigh up to 585 tonnes. CDWE is a joint venture between Deme Offshore and CSBC.
