Trelleborg wins offshore windfarm contract

Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation has been awarded a contract to provide four integrated cable protection systems for Hornsea Two, the world’s largest offshore windfarm.

The Skelmersdale firm was granted the work by renewable energy provider Ørsted, and will provide its NjordGuard cable protection system to protect the inter array power cables from fatigue, over-bending and abrasion.

Andy Smith, product group manager for renewables at Trelleborg’s applied technologies operation, said: "Trelleborg’s NjordGuard provides lifetime protection of the cable at the critical monopile entry point and is easy to both install and remove without diver intervention.
