CAPE Holland, a leading company in offshore industry foundation installation equipment within the Venterra Group, has secured a contract with CDWE for the Fengmiao Offshore Wind Farm project in Taiwan. The agreement involves supplying its CAPE VLT-640 Tandem Vibro Lifting Tool to facilitate the pre-installation of foundation and offshore substation piles.
This decision was driven by the tool's ability to safely drive piles through challenging subsea soils with risk of pile run, setting new standards for operational efficiency and risk reduction. With a track record of installing well over 400 jacket piles in Taiwan without any pile runs, CAPE Holland continues to demonstrate its expertise in this area.
The Fengmiao Offshore Wind Farm project will feature 500 MW of total capacity, comprising 33 wind turbine generator positions with 15 MW turbines. The OSS foundation and FOU piles are designed to withstand water depths ranging from 53 to 64 meters.
The collaboration between CDWE and CAPE Holland demonstrates the value of combining local expertise with global innovation, ensuring continuous optimization of the installation sequence and allowing valuable experience to be transferred to other DEME projects worldwide. This strategic partnership is a significant win for CAPE Holland's global growth and expansion into new markets.
The Fengmiao Offshore Wind Farm project showcases CAPE Holland's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the complex demands of offshore wind farm construction. With its track record of success in Taiwan, CAPE Holland is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for offshore wind energy globally.
