James Fisher has secured a number of inspection and maintenance contracts at the 630MW London Array wind farm off south-east England.
The company will provide inspection of the substation and all 175 Siemens Gamesa 3.6MW turbines.
Sister company EDS will meanwhile provide support services for the project’s HV network on a 24/7 basis, including on the OFTO-owned assets.
James Fisher is already working on topside balance of plant services at the wind farm, which is owned by a consortium that includes Eon and Orsted.
London Array general manager Jonathan Duffy said: “We have been impressed with the comprehensive range of solutions and flexibility of services and (James Fisher’s) commitment to helping us maximise the wind farm’s uptime.“
Furthermore, its high voltage support services on both generation and transmission assets are a critical part of our maintenance and risk management strategy.
James Fisher executive director Fergus Graham added: “The complete maintenance package we are providing brings together our extensive capability across JFMS for the topside and subsea element, as well as EDS HV for HV support services.“
This demonstrates our capability to manage every phase of a wind farm’s life cycle, from construction support through to decommissioning.
