Offshore marine and engineering consultancy Aqualis Offshore has been contracted by A2SEA to perform engineering consultancy services for its offshore wind farm installation work at the Horns Rev 3 wind farm offshore Denmark.
Aqualis Offshore’s London-office will provide structural site assessments at the locations where A2SEA’s Sea Installer jackup vessel will install 49 MHI Vestas 8.3MW wind turbines.
“We have recently supported A2SEA and its vessel Sea Installer with similar scope of work at the Race Bank and the Burbo Bank Extension offshore wind farm in the UK,” says David Wells, CEO, Aqualis Offshore.
The Horns Rev 3 wind farm has been established within an 88sq km area, 29–44km west of Houstrup Strand on Jutland's west coast. The water depth is between 10-21m. The offshore wind farm will consist of 49 wind turbines with a total capacity of 406.7 MW, which can generate power equivalent to the annual consumption of 425,000 Danish households. Vattenfall is the operator of Horns Rev 3.
