Energy Global,
Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation has been awarded a contract by Seaway 7, Subsea 7’s renewables business unit, to provide 86 integrated cable protection systems for RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm project, located in the North Sea, Germany. Trelleborg’s NjordGuard cable protection system will be used to protect inter array grid power cables on the project, from over-bending, abrasion, and fatigue.
Production of the 86 NjordGuard cable protection systems will take place in Trelleborg’s manufacturing facility in the North of England. Project engineering works will commence immediately, with installation activities scheduled for execution at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022.
NjordGuard is an integrated cable protection system designed and developed to protect offshore wind farm power cables in wind turbine generators and offshore substations. Easily assembled on a cable lay vessel to allow speedy installation, the system is manufactured in highly abrasion resistant and API 17L certified Uraduct® material. This enables the protection system to travel over the seabed without damage, extending the system life. Most importantly, it facilitates easier installation, reuse, and removal without diver and ROV intervention, optimising efficiency and maximising safety.
Located 35 km north of the island of Heligoland, Germany, RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm will feature 38 wind turbine generators of up to 9 MW. The wind turbine generators, as well as the offshore substation, will be installed on monopile foundations.
