Veja Mate Monopiles Setup at One-Third

A one-third of 1300T monopiles for the Veja Mate Offshore Project have been successfully installed.

The construction phase began in April 2016 and Veja Mate contractor Offshore Wind Force (OWF) has managed to install 24 monopiles, in the German North Sea using the Jack-up vessel, Scylla.

Rasmus Miller, foundation package manager, said: “It’s quite an achievement to maintain installation speed of the world’s heaviest monopile with a newly-built mega jack-up vessel and balance the requirements from the authorities. After an initial learning curve, speed picked-up and on the 28th of May OWF was able to complete installation of two monopiles in a single day.”

The next step in construction of the Veja Mate wind park will be installation of transition pieces, which will begin next week and will be completed independently from the monopiles.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
