Van Oord has completed the installation of all 50 foundations and inter-array cables for Iberdrola’s Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm. Earlier this year, heavy-lift installation vessel Svanen installed the monopiles.The wind turbine foundations were completed by Van Oord with the installation of the transition pieces. Van Oord performed the installation in two campaigns with Spliethoff’s Brouwersgracht and Jumbo’s Fairplayer.
Recently, Van Oord’s cable-laying vessel Nexus successfully completed the installation of the inter-array cables. Trencher Dig-It - a remotely-operated vehicle – buried the inter-array cables to the required depth. The termination and testing works of the IAC are in full swing and are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
The Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm is located in the German Baltic Sea, 30 kilometres northeast of the island of Rügen. With a production capacity of 476 MW, Iberdrola’s Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm will deliver renewable energy to 475,000 households.
