Dedicated experts in offshore engineering WINDPOWER Accommodation module Horns Rev 2 Customer: Dong Energy The project In 2007 Semco Maritime was awarded the contract for design, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the accommodation topside for the Horns Rev 2 (HR2) wind farm. The HR2 wind farm consists of 98 wind turbines with an output of 2.3 MW each. The wind farm is placed 27 km west of Esbjerg on the Danish west coast, and is the windfarm that is built furthest offshore compared to any other windfarm in the world. The water depth is 9 to 18 metres. The accommodation platform is established in connection with the offshore windfarm, thus reducing the journey time to and from the wind farm for the employees who operate and maintain it. Semco Maritimes contribution to this project consisted of the accommodation topside, which is placed on a monopole. Technical description The monopole is made of a 4,200 mm dia. steel tube.
