CSBC Corporation to build wind turbine foundation pin-piles at a site off the coast of Changhua County in central Taiwan.
“We will use Ørsted designed Jacket foundations which are tailored to meet the seabed conditions in Taiwan,” said Matthias Bausenwein, general manager Asia Pacific Ørsted and chairman of Ørsted Taiwan, at the ceremony.
“Each foundation will be supported by three pin-piles that are driven into the seabed, forming a robust foundation structure to sustain the weight of the tower and wind turbine system,” he said.
“We are glad to have found a partner like CSBC, a company that has many years of experience in heavy industry and shipbuilding,” he said.
Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua (王美花), who witnessed the signing of the contract, said the deal will boost Taiwan’s offshore energy industry. [FULL STORY]
