A Greater Manchester international cable seal manufacturer has secured a major deal to support 1.3bn offshore windfarm in the English Channel. <\/p>\n
Roxtec designed and supplied all cable seals involved in the Rampion Offshore windfarm, located 13km off the coast of Sussex. <\/p>\n
The site has a target capacity of 400 MW and is expected to be completed in 2018. It will occupy an area of 72 square km, close to three times the size of Manhattan Island in New York City. <\/p>\n
Roxtec UK managing director Clive Sharp said the Rampion contract adds to a growing portfolio of work in the offshore renewables market, which includes more than 40 projects involving offshore windfarms in Europe. <\/p>\n
This contract involved supplying seals for single-core cables, both high and medium voltage, in the bulkhead and deck areas of the platforms, he said. <\/p>\n
We designed a customised solution, involving trefoil formation cable seals for medium-voltage switchgear and split plates for high-voltage and export cables. While carrying out the design process our engineers have also delivered training to ensure effective installation and management of the seals. <\/p>\n
Roxtec benefits from extensive experience of sealing cables on offshore platforms. Our solutions are particularly suited to this market because they are flexible and versatile.\" <\/p>\n
