OES Group has secured a contract from Smulders to provide and install external and internal impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems for 53 monopiles and associated boat landings at the OranjeWind offshore wind project in the Dutch North Sea.
The site lies roughly 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast. According to OES Group, project developers RWE and TotalEnergies plan to install more than 795 megawatts of offshore wind capacity at the location, which the company says will be “enough to power almost one million Dutch homes.”
Smulders is responsible for secondary steel fabrication on the project. OES Group said it received the ICCP contract following what it described as “an extensive design interface between all parties.” The company will supply 53 ICCP systems designed to protect the internal and external surfaces of the monopiles from corrosion throughout their operational life.
OES Group also highlighted its directly welded ICCP anodes for boat landings, calling them “a robust and sustainable solution.”
The company said it values its ongoing work with project partners. “OES Group said it is proud to continue its collaboration with Smulders, RWE and TotalEnergies,” the statement added.
