KUALA LUMPUR: Eversendai Corporation Bhd's wholly-owned Eversendai Offshore has loaded out the foundation jacket structure for the 700-megawatt high voltage alternating current offshore Beta topside platform for the Hollandse Kust (Zuid) Offshore wind farm in the Netherlands.
The wind farm is developed by TenneT, a leading European electricity transmission system operator.
The project was awarded by Petrofac to Eversendai Offshore and the scope of work included fabrication engineering, fabrication, and construction of the jacket, piles and its appurtenances including loadout and sea-fastening.
This is the second six-legged jacket Eversendai Offshore has fabricated and constructed for the offshore wind renewable energy sector in Europe.
According to Eversendai offshore chief executive officer Narish Nathan, the foundation jacket structure was now heading to its final destination in the North Sea in Europe.
There, the structure would be lifted and positioned in a water depth of about 21 metres, he said in a statement.
The Hollandse Kust beta substation together with the Hollandse Kust alpha substation will collect the electricity generated by the offshore wind turbines at the Hollandse Kust 1-4 offshore wind farm, transform and deliver electricity to the Dutch national grid.
"This is a significant achievement to deliver our second offshore wind renewable energy project safely," Nathan said.
Eversendai expects the offshore wind renewable energy projects to be a substantial contributor to the group's financials.
Currently, Eversendai has an outstanding order book of RM2.01 billion.
Nathan said a few new project awards were in the final stages of negotiations which should be concluded before the end of the year.
