KENC Engineering has won multiple contracts from an undisclosed T&I Contractor. The contracts entail engineering scopes to outfit a purpose-built jack-up vessel to contribute with the safe and efficient installation of the monopiles for a UK offshore wind farm.
KENC’s scope of work includes the design and engineering of a hose reel platform that houses the hydraulic power unit (HPU), a hose saddle, a control cabin work frame and a gangway platform.
The challenge was to come up with custom-made solutions that were light, stable and strong to fit the deck requirements of the jack-up vessel. KENC has achieved this by the close cooperation of its design and finite element analysis team to make the structure strong, light and safe.

‘We’re proud to work with the contractor on these scopes,’ says Eric Buining, Managing Director of KENC Engineering. ‘This collaboration allows us to leverage our experience of vessel outfitting and mobilisation support for offshore wind installation projects.’
Engineering work is already well underway, with completion scheduled for the upcoming project in 2025.
