At the substation of RWE Renewables GmbH's Nordsee Ost offshore wind farm, the problem solvers from b.offshore GmbH were once again able to demonstrate their expertise and speed. They carried out the necessary replacement of a diesel engine turbocharger intercooler.

With a donation to the Tafel Bremerhaven, b.offshore GmbH has set an example against poverty and food waste. The three team members Jana Stegmann, Kristin Büter and Matthias Bullwinkel were delighted to hand over the donation cheque, expressing their heart for people in need on behalf of the company.

b.offshore GmbH carried out the replacement of a rescue davit crane at the BorWin gamma offshore converter station operated by transmission system operator TenneT. All the necessary work in the areas of electrical engineering, hydraulics and mechanics was carried out by b.offshore employees.

b.offshore GmbH has completed the refurbishment of the suction-side part of the seawater cooling system on the BorWin beta offshore converter platform on behalf of TenneT. The modernisation will ensure the removal of excess heat from the central water cooling system in future.

At the offshore converter station HelWin alpha, b.offshore GmbH has created a new access concept that enables work to be carried out below the platform. The platform operated by TenneT was put into operation in 2015. With their extensive practical experience, the b.offshore specialists have created a way to carry out work below the platform.

In 2021, b.offshore was tasked by civil engineering partner J.B.O. (www.j-b-o.de) to provide a design for the electrical outfit of the transition pieces for the #EnBW (www.enbw.com) OWF “He Dreiht”. This design was to include dedicated networking and PLC systems which should not only consider the functional requirements for the operations team at #EnBW, but also the cyber security requirements for critical infrastructure (BSI-KritisV, www.bsi.bund.de). We are happy to announce that in close coordination with #EnBW our design has been approved for implementation. Please contact us to discuss your OWF networking and cyber security requirements and how we can support you in achieving or maintaining your vital status as operator of critical infrastructure.

b.offshore GmbH had received the order for the design and planning for the modification of the services hatches on the HelWin beta converter station from the grid operator TenneT (https://www.tennet.eu) in 2022.

In order to implement new HSE requirements, it was necessary to upgrade the opening and closing system for the five service hatches on the converter platform. All five service hatches have been upgraded with electrical winches including state of the art automation as well as hand railings around the openings.

In spring 2022, b.offshore GmbH installed additional light sources to illuminate walkways in modular living quarters (MLQs) on the DolWin beta converter platform. b.offshore planned and installed the outdoor lighting, considering corrosion protection and the latest state of the art. The system was tested according to DIN VDE 0100-600 and launched to the fullest satisfaction of the customer.

In addition to the new OSS construction "Arcadis Ost 1", b.offshore also supports the construction supervision of the second new OSS construction "Baltic Eagle" on behalf of 50Hertz.

Until the beginning of Q2/'22, b.offshore is supporting the HATs of Common Systems on the new OSS construction "Arcadis Ost 1" on behalf of 50Hertz. The OSS is being built on behalf of the Belgian park operator ParkWind at Bladt Industries in Aalborg / Denmark.
