Binhai North H2# 400MW Offshore Windfarm Project

From April to October 2017, Techwise carried out its first wind turbine installation engineering project for the renewable sector in China. The developer of the Binhai North H2# 400MW Offshore Windfarm Project is State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) and the project comprises 100 wind turbines with a total capacity of 400MW.

Techwise's client is Sinomarine & Teras (Tianjin) Offshore  Co., Ltd. The multi-purpose self-elevating jack-up "Chang De" is used to install the wind turbines. Techwise's scope of work included:

• Preparing project execution plan for the wind turbine installation;
  

• Geotechnical assessment of the wind turbine installation locations;

• Site specific assessment of the installation vessel "Chang De" as per SNAME guideline;

• Preparing the stowage plan of "Change De";

• Seafastening & grillage design of the wind turbine components onboard of "Chang De";

• Intact and damaged stability analyses of "Chang De" for transportation of wind turbine components;

• Analyses for transferring and installation of wind turbines using "Chang De";
  

• Wind turbine installation procedures.

The Techwise team consisted of one project manager, two naval architects, one structural/civil engineer, one geotechnical specialist and two draftsmen. The team worked closely with other parties and resolved various technical challenges in the project. Offshore installation is currently ongoing.
