. | BorWin beta platform © OVERDICK |
The step marks the completion of the most critical
phase in the offshore campaign.
The BorWin beta topsides is designed with a watertight hull allowing
it to be fabricated at a shipyard and wet towed to field by tugs without a
transport barge. The 2700 tonne jacket substructure with the cable tower
attached had been installed in 40 metres of water in an earlier campaign
in 2013. Once at site, the topsides was positioned over the substructure
and the platform legs were lowered to make contact with the subsea pile
heads. With all six platform legs resting secure on the piles, the
topsides was jacked up to its target elevation of 20 metres above sea
level by means of the temporary hydraulic jacking system. BorWin beta is the second of three large HVDC platforms designed by OVERDICK for Siemens. The SylWin alpha platform will follow soon while HelWin alpha was installed in 2013.
OVERDICKs concept for self-installing HVDC platforms continues to
demonstrate that it is the ideal solution for ever growing demands in
topsides weight. SylWin alpha and DolWin gamma platforms are already
destined to set new records in this category. (*) See < e-news-Siemens-BorWin-Tennet-order.htm >
