InterMoor will develop plans for Asian wind farm

InterMoor, a brand in Acteon’s Engineering, Moorings and Foundations Division has been awarded the engineering design scope and the transportation and installation study for two upcoming offshore floating wind farms offshore Asia.

InterMoor has a facility at the Port of Morgan City.

One wind farm comprises 50-80 turbines, each of 15MW capacity, totaling a capacity of 750- 1200MW. The second wind farm has 10-20 turbines, each of 15MW capacity and totals 150– 300MW capacity.

Water depth in these sites ranges from 260 feet to 450 feet..

Each wind turbine platform will be moored using hybrid mooring lines, providing station keeping and offsetting extreme and ambient environmental loads.

InterMoor’s scope includes:

—Feasibility study of various anchoring solutions namely drag anchors, suction and driven pile anchors

—Detailed assessment of advantages and limitations associated with these anchoring solutions including operational and commercial aspects

—Development of transportation and installation methodology for both the foundation, mooring installations and the export and inter-array cables

—Supporting the project’s scheduling and EPCI budgeting.

The two projects will add to Acteon’s current extensive floating wind track record.
