On 12 of November, leading marine contractor Van Oord awarded Breman Machinery and KENC Engineering with the assignment to design and build a casing lifting adapter (CLA). The lifting tool supports the installation of 190 pin piles at Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, France.
The CLA can handle 275 t and is designed to connect with the temporary casing used during drilling operations. It is equipped with redundant safety pin connections and can be operated remotely. The lifting tool includes a subsea IP camera to provide real-time images during fitting operations. In early February 2021 the CLA will be delivered to Van Oord.
Eric Buining, Manager Director at KENC: “This is a great award for KENC Engineering, we are delighted to have been selected by Van Oord to contribute with our expertise and look forward to a smooth and successful project!”
