Electrical specialist Bakker Sliedrecht has supplied the high voltage power installation for the new Allseas facility in Heijningen, south of Rotterdam.
It is the electrical lifeline for a new in-house training site and a production facility for the offshore company's fleet.
The construction of high-voltage infrastructure is a specialism of Bakker Sliedrecht. The company ensured the engineering, installation and connection to the high-voltage grid.
Training and Production Facility
Allseas Group is a world leading contractor in offshore pipeline installation, heavy lift and subsea construction. The new facility in Heijningen is located at a former shipyard with quay’s and is used, among others, for the training of its own personnel, for example in welding. Furthermore, large equipment and constructions for Allseas’ own ships and projects are manufactured and tested there.
Transformer Stations on Site
The equipment used demands a lot of power resulting in the need for a high-voltage installation. Bakker Sliedrecht realised this through a large transformer station and multiple smaller sized transformer stations on site. The project was completed in May. The rest of the complex is to be completed in August.
The new facility in Heijningen is being built by Heembouw. Bakker Sliedrecht has also gained the contract for the service and maintenance of the high-voltage installation after completion, including installation responsibility.
