Fugro Q1400 trencher on the Jan SteenFugro recently completed the burial of export cables at the Gemini offshore wind park, off the Netherlands coast. Fugro was awarded a contract by Van Oord in April and mobilised one of its two Q1400 trenching spreads onto the Van Oord support vessel Jan Steen to execute the export cable burial works.

The scope consisted of burying the deeper water sections of two export cables and one connector cable (between the offshore substations), a total combined length of 140 kilometres, to a target depth below seabed level of 1.5 metres. Jetting burial was conducted in seabed conditions consisting mainly of sands with occasional occurrence of harder materials. Van Oord subsequently added its inter array cable burial scope which will see the spread retained onboard the Jan Steen into Q1 of 2016.
