Jee Ltd has just completed a contract with Technip Offshore Wind Ltd for the provision of subsea power cable installation engineering on a new and innovative offshore wind farm project.

Jee provided Technip with valuable information about the safest and most efficient way to install the cables, thereby minimising installation costs and reducing the risk of cable damage during offshore operations.

The project, Gunfleet Sands 3, is located eight miles off the coast of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, and is the latest offshore wind farm development from Danish firm, DONG Energy.

A number of industry firsts were realised in this development, including the use of Siemens new 6 megawatt turbine, the first of its kind to be used offshore. Pioneering technologies were showcased and tested, such as a novel cable protection system and a new foundation design, all being used to optimise the build and operation of offshore wind farms to ultimately reduce the cost of energy produced.
