DWTEK’s ROV I90+ Completes Wind Turbine Operation in the Taiwan Strait
Tuesday, 27th August 2024
DWTEK Completed the Maintenance Operation of One-Third of Wind Turbines in the Taiwan Strait in July
DWTEK‘s ROV I90+, equipped with a cutting-edge water jet tool, successfully completed the maintenance operation of 80 wind turbines, with a total power capacity of over 600 MW, located in western Taiwan in July.
The company’s latest achievement includes breaking its record, with each turbine now capable of cleaning a 10m² section within one hour.
Enhanced new water jet tool
DWTEK’s ROV I90+, enhanced with a new water jet tool provided by a local Taiwan supplier, efficiently removed marine growth from offshore wind turbines. The company is known for having a strong local supplier chain to fulfill clients’ diverse needs. For instance, in this case, DWTEK’s water jet partner worked closely with them to ensure success.
The task was executed with precision by DWTEK’s highly trained ROV pilot team, even under the challenging conditions of the Taiwan Strait. Impressively, the entire maintenance scope can be done within one hour.
This success strengthens the company’s confidence in tackling large-scale offshore wind farm cleaning and other significant underwater construction projects in the future.
The Taiwan Strait, with its total wind farm installation capacity reaching 29GW and 270 operating wind turbines, is a prime location for offshore wind energy. As Taiwan’s offshore wind farms continue to grow, more local companies like DWTEK must be needed to tackle and support OWF tasks.
