Case studies
DEME’s Monopile Installation Vessel Orion is the newest member of its fleet. The Orion is tasked with the record-breaking installation of 29 XXL monopiles for the Arcadis Ost 1 Offshore Wind Farm in the German Baltic Sea. With the largest piles sitting at 110m long, 9.5m in diameter, and 2,000 tonnes, the Orion required an innovative approach to tackle these behemoths. TWD developed the basic structural and mechanical design of a motion compensated pile gripper (MCPG).
Contract type: Design & Engineering
Value: N/A
Our motion-control engineers performed extensive dynamic simulations and validated those in scaled tank tests, leading to a detailed specification of Orion’s gripper and its robust installation method on DP. Based on the simulations, scale tests and results, DEME has seen these results and principals as a confirmation of their business case and contracted Huisman for designing and building a MCPG. TWD’s support continued with detailed analyses of the interaction between the vessel’s Dynamic Positioning system, the crane and MCPG, which over the last weeks resulted in the safe and stable installation of Orion’s first monopiles on DP. Project highlights - Future proof MP seafastening system for up to 5 MPs - Robust lifting tool stabbing system to decrease time offshore
TWD assisted OW Ocean Winds with the transport of 48 XXL monopiles to the Port of Nigg for the Moray West Offshore Wind Farm project. TWD was delighted to support OW Ocean Winds with our smart seafastening cradle design. Our universal seafastening cradles, designed for efficient loading and unloading operations utilising SPMTs without the need for cranes. Moreover, these cradles can accommodate monopiles of different diameters. The smart seafastening cradle design ensured safe, efficient, and sustainable transoceanic transportation.
