ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands — Jumbo Offshore has finished removing two monopiles on the Yunlin wind farm offshore Taiwan.
Yunneng Wind Power, which awarded the contract earlier this year, as an expansion of Jumbo’s existing scope, which involves transportation and installation of the transition pieces.
Jumbo sent its DP2 heavy-lift crane vessel Fairplayer from Europe to support operations.
The two monopiles had to be removed following a pile run during an earlier phase of the project. The program entailed underwater cutting of the monopiles into sections followed by recovery, transport and offloading of the structures.
Claxton Engineering Services provided the underwater abrasive cutting and lifting tool, with IKM Subsea supplying an ROV and Reach Subsea supplying survey equipment.
The individual sections were lifted into the vessel’s cargo hold for transportation to a local Taiwanese port and offloading to the quayside.
