Boskalis secures scour protection contract for 640 MW Yunlin offshore wind project

Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has secured a contract for the scour protection for the Yunlin offshore wind farm. The award was made by Yunneng Wind Power Co. Ltd, majority-owned by German wind farm developer Wpd AG. Boskalis will install rock on the seabed around the 71 monopile foundations serving as scour protection. In total 325,000 tons of rock sourced from local quarries in Taiwan will be installed using a fallpipe vessel.

The project is scheduled to commence in early 2020 and is expected to be completed in late 2020.
