N-Sea Group has been awarded a contract by Gwynt y Môr OFTO (GYM OFTO) for a further repair to one of four export cables that form part of the transmission assets that connect the Gwynt y Môr windfarm to the grid
Gwynt y Môr windfarm is a 576-MW offshore windfarm off the coast of Wales. The windfarm has 160 wind turbines and has been in operation since 2013. GYM OFTO owns the transmission assets that connect Gwynt y Môr windfarm to the National Grid.
N-Sea’s scope includes replacing a 5-km section of 132-kV export cable from the onshore transition joint bay to the offshore platform.
The scope includes the pull ashore of the new cable through a horizontal directional drill duct under a railway, dredging the shore approach, jointing and testing the new cable, and burial.
N-Sea’s inhouse survey, UXO and data centre divisions will be engaged to engineer and deliver a new route for the new cable including as-built data upon completion.
