Van Oord to install scour protection for 1.1 GW wind farm in Scotland
Van Oord has been selected to install scour protection around the 114 wind turbine foundations at the Seagreen offshore wind farm. The wind farm is located 27 kilometres off the coast of Angus in Scotland.
The wind turbines for this 1.1 GW offshore wind farm will be installed on three-legged jacket foundations. After the installation of these jackets, scour protection is required to avoid the effects of erosion. This is achieved by high precision rock installation around the jackets.
In addition, flexible fallpipe vessel Nordnes will be deployed to install scour protection on several cable crossings. All subsea activities will take place in water depths of up to 50 metres.
When completed, the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm will be Scotland’s largest, and the world’s deepest, fixed bottom offshore wind farm. It will provide a significant contribution to Scotland’s net-zero ambition and enough clean, renewable energy to power 1.6 million homes.
