Acteon brand UTEC has been awarded an offshore survey and positioning contract for the Taiwan Power Company Phase 2 wind farm project.
As part of the contract, the company is slated to deliver onshore dimensional control, bathymetric survey, positioning support during offshore pin pile installation and as-built survey of foundation jackets.
The services are set to be provided on board three offshore installation vessels and several onshore fabrication facilities. Fieldwork is expected to begin later this year.
UTEC will also provide equipment and personnel for online survey, surface positioning and offline data processing and reporting on board an anchor handling tug supply vessel. Equipment expected to be used includes the Veripos LD8 receivers, iXBlue Octans Surface gyrocompass and Vaisala digital barometers.
“This award builds on our growing track record in the Taiwanese renewables market,” says Nadir Rahmatullah, regional director for Asia Pacific and Middle East, UTEC.
“UTEC delivers a unique local solution in the Asia-Pacific and Australasia regions using the experience acquired over a decade of operations in Asia’s offshore wind industry and its track record in Europe’s renewables market.”
UTEC also provided trenching survey support on the first phase of the project, which was completed last November.
Upon completion, the wind farm is expected to generate approximately 2.4 TWh annually.
