CWIND PROVIDES ROV SUBSEA INSPECTIONS FOR E.ON AT AMRUMBANK WEST

(WK-intern) – CWind, a leading provider of services to the offshore wind industry, has completed a key project for E.ON, site wind farm owner, to undertake inspections of the monopiles, scour protection and cables at a number of locations at Amrumbank West offshore wind farm off the coast of Germany.

The V8 Ocean Modules Inspection Class ROV was deployed from one of CWind’s 22 strong-fleet to conduct the survey.

The ROV was fitted with a super high definition camera and provided clear survey results, even in poor conditions and low visibility. CWind subsequently provided comprehensive reporting on the findings for E.ON.

Lee Andrews, Managing Director CWind, said, “We have worked with E.ON on a range of contracts in the UK and this contract extends our working relationship to support their operations in Germany.  CWind has well developed subsea survey capabilities and we were happy to support E.ON on this project by providing detailed information which will enable them to make sound decisions on the future O&M requirements at the site.”
