Offshore wind
farm installation

Planning and installation of offshore wind farms can be challenging because of harsh environmental conditions, heterogeneous soil profiles and scheduling risks. Locations are remote, waves are long and the wind turbine sizes are increasing. With Boskalis as your partner you can rely on our expertise, experience and commitment to execute operations safely, on time and within budget.

Seabed preparation, installation of wind turbine foundations and offshore high voltage stations, as well as installation of infield and export cables  involves numerous disciplines, contractors and suppliers. When properly managed this results in simplified interfaces and effective solutions.

With our successful track record of installing wind farm foundations you can rely on our commitment to execute efficient, safe and reliable operations.

The alignment between our in-house environmental and geotechnical knowledge, marine engineering capabilities, feeder port logistics, project management and procurement, helps us develop cost-effective project solutions. Combining this with our cable-laying capabilities enables us to offer turnkey solutions for the development of offshore wind farms. Our versatile fleet of vessels and our fleet management capabilities allow us to select the most effective installation spreads that will bring transport and installation activities well within project timelines and budgets.
