Canyon Offshore chosen for DONG’s Hornsea project
From Scandinavian Oil-Gas Magazine
Canyon Offshore Limited, a trenching solutions provider based in Aberdeen, has been awarded a contract by Siem Offshore Contractors for the provision of trenching services on DONG Energy’s Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm Project One.
In November 2016, and building further upon the recent establishment of its UK office in Aberdeen Scotland, Siem Offshore Contractors was awarded a contract for the installation of the inner-array grid cable system for the Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm Project One by DONG Energy Wind Power A/S.
Canyon Offshore’s award will require the trenching of approximately 140 km of inner-array grid cables on the wind farm which will have been laid onto the seabed by Siem Offshore Contractors. In order to provide the optimum trenching solution to bury the inner-array grid cables, Canyon Offshore Limited will use both jetting and cutting methodology with its Jet Trencher, T1200 and its hard ground trencher, i-Trencher. Both systems, together with two work class remotely operated vehicles, will be deployed from a single support vessel, the chartered Grand Canyon I, with operations commencing Q4 2018. Management of the operations will be provided from Canyon Offshore Limited’s Aberdeen base.
