Germany: VSMC Completes Cable Installation at Meerwind Süd/Ost on Time

July 9, 2013

Last weekend, VSMC installed the last cable for the Meerwind Süd/Ost wind farms by successfully accomplishing the final pull-in.

A total of 3 load outs, 88 inter array cables and 176 pull-ins were completed on time. With safety and quality as a top priority, VSMC finished the challenging project with no recordable incidents.

The offshore wind farms Meerwind Süd/Ost are a 288 MW project located in the German Bight in the North Sea, 23 km north of the island of Heligoland. The wind farm consists of 80 wind turbines with a power output of 3.6 MW each. The location is one of the most promising in the emerging offshore wind market in Germany. RWE Innogy recently contracted VSMC to lay and bury the infield cables for the Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm, also located in the German Bight.
