Van Oord Installs Eneco Luchterduinen Substation Foundation

Eneco has installed the transformer station foundation at its 129MW Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm.

The main contractor for the development of the Dutch wind farm, a joint operation between the Japanese company Mitsubishi Corporation and Eneco Group, is Van Oord.

The wind turbine construction jack-up vessel Aeolus installed 10 foundations out of 43 so far since the start of the construction a month ago.

Eneco Luchterduinen features new foundations where the monopile and the transition piece, which are usually built as two separate components, are built as a single component.

The construction is expected to be completed by mid 2015.
