Tekmar Provides Cable Protection for Triton Knoll OWF

Tekmar Energy has been selected by Royal Boskalis Westminster to provide its TekLink Cable Protection System (CPS) Generation 8 for the Innogy Triton Knoll offshore wind farm.

Tekmar will be providing 196 systems for protecting the array and export cables; bellmouths for the substations; with sister company AgileTek Engineering performing engineering analysis on the project.

Russell Edmondson, managing director of Tekmar Energy said: “We are delighted to continue our trusted relationship with Boskalis following many years of success together. Further, this is our third project with Innogy following the completion of Galloper late last year, also with Boskalis.”

The project will mark Tekmar’s 71st project within the industry, the company noted.

The product will be manufactured within Tekmar’s facility in the North East of England.

Triton Knoll is located 32 kilometers off the coast of Lincolnshire and consists of 90 turbines in water depth of 15-21m. The project will provide a total of 860 MW providing sustainable renewable energy to over 800,000 homes in the UK when complete.
