Equans BeLux - Offshore Business Unit

Yesterday, we (Equans BeLux) had the privelege of welcoming our colleagues from Bouygues Construction to the substation construction yard in Hoboken. It allowed us to share insights on our activities and examine potential cooperations. On to the next!

Last week, together with our client TenneT TSO B.V., we welcomed European stakeholders to our yard in Hoboken, where the platform for the Hollandse Kust West Beta project is under construction. The participants, representatives from the European Parliament, European Commission, NATO, the German Permanent Representation and VNO-NCW, took a tour on the platform that will be installed in the Dutch North Sea in spring 2025.   Facts & figures ✅ 700 MW ✅ 25 m high ✅ 3,500 tonnes of weight   More information on our #offshore wind expertise 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/egqpBHMU   #EmpoweringTransitions #EnergyTransition

💪🏼 We're happy to announce our partnership with ANYbotics and are committed to delivering groundbreaking solutions that enhance our customers' efficiency and drive the essential movement towards #decarbonization and #digitalization #EmpoweringTransition #DigitalTransition #IndustrialTransition

Succesful completion of the 220kV platform cable after installation tests on the newly built Hollandse Kust West Beta topside at the offshore yard in Antwerp (BE). The 1,7xUo voltage endurance test was combined with diagnostic PD measurements on all terminations under voltage. ⚡️ Thanks to all colleagues involved for the excellent cooperation 🙏 #Trafotechnics #jgoconsult #Equans #Tennet #Nexuspower #comissioning #Renawables #Highvoltage #Partial discharge #Highvolt #Omicron

🫱🏼🫲🏼🏗️ Last week, a delegation from the Ministerie van Klimaat en Groene Groei, The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets, Rijkswaterstaat, and the Ministerie van Financiën visited the Equans BeLux site in Hoboken, Port of Antwerp-Bruges. They received a technical overview of the construction of the topside for our offshore substation Hollandse Kust (west Beta). 🔋🌊   This platform is the third of three offshore transformer platforms being developed by the Equans BeLux/Smulders contractor consortium. Thanks to the standardized design for the 700 MW substations and the application of the knowledge and experience gained so far, we can report that the building is going well. ✅👍🏼 Next spring, the platform will be installed at sea. The platform is located 50 km off the Dutch coast near the village of Egmond aan Zee. Together with the wind farm builder and operator RWE, we will then bring more than 700 MW of sustainable wind energy to land. 💨⚡️ #OffshoreEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EnergyInfrastructure #ConstructionProgress #windenergy #energytransition #teamwork

It was a great pleasure to visit the Belgian stands at the WindEnergy Hamburg exhibition. Belgium ranks third worldwide in offshore wind capacity per capita. Belgian companies, active across all parts of the supply chain, play a crucial role in driving the energy transition. Together, they make Belgium a leading exporter of climate solutions. It’s inspiring to witness their eagerness to keep innovating and feel the expertise showcased at their stands. Keep up the great work!
