The project has a total contract value of EUR 110 million.
VSMC will perform two 1100 m horizontal directional drillings at the landfall in 2015, followed by the installation of two 42 km export cables in 2016. The scope of work also includes the design, supply, installation, terminations and testing of 67 infield cables with a total length of approximately 100 km. The Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm is located 32 km off the coast of North Norfolk in the United Kingdom. The 67 wind turbines can generate a total capacity of 400 MW.
