Installation Schedule
There are many offshore wind farms operating in Europe, and the construction
methodology used for each one is broadly similar and well understood. The example of
these projects will be closely followed in the installation of the proposed Project.
The full ~200MW Project construction is expected to take place over a period of two years.
However, at any one time only between 1-3 foundations or turbines could be installed at a
time due to the lack of suitable vessels, so the activities on the site will take place in
specific isolated areas, with large gaps between work.
Indicative Construction Schedule
Approximately 120 Heavy lift vessel (HLV) movements are anticipated over the two year
construction period, equivalent to approximately one every 3 days. There are also likely to
be approximately 3,360 support vessel movements over the same 2 year period, or
approximately 4-5 a day on average.
Work on the site will occur in concentrated periods and at specific areas, rather than
continuously over the entire site area.
