Deltares Updates the Scour Protection Design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta Substations
Thursday 10 May 2018
Deltares has worked with HSM Offshore on the updating of the scour protection design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta offshore high-voltage substation (OHVS) platforms that connect the wind farms in the Borssele Wind Farm Zone (Netherlands) to the grid.
Deltares performed model tests in 2016 to investigate scour development and conceptual scour protection for the platforms commissioned by TenneT. The contract for the construction and installation of both platforms was awarded to HSM Offshore in 2017 and Deltares was asked to help with the detailed scour protection designs for these platforms.
The installation of the Borssele Alpha foundation is planned for the second half of 2018 and the full OHVS platform is scheduled for completion in 2019. Borssele Beta is planned for 2020.
