Tideway, a subsidiary of the Belgian dredging, environmental and marine engineering group DEME, has announced that the company has been awarded a design and build cable installation contract by DONG Energy for the Hornsea Project One.
Tideway will deploy DEME’s newest subsea cable-laying vessel Living Stone for the project.
The installation scope of work for Tideway includes cable-laying, pre-trenching, backfilling, pre-sweeping, route preparation and rock placement of three high voltage subsea power cables from the shore to three different offshore substation platforms, as well as the installation of two interlink cables.
The offshore project execution will start in 2017 with the engineering route survey and the last export cable will be laid and protected mid 2019.
“We are delighted to be expanding our relationship with DONG Energy from the offshore oil and gas market to the key growth area of offshore wind. We look forward to a successful campaign,” said Hugo Bouvy and Lucas Bols, both directors of Tideway.
