Huadian Wenqiang, the Chinese self-elevating jack-up vessel, has installed its first turbine at an offshore wind project. According to Hengtong Group, the ship installed the turbine at the project site offshore Zhanjiang in the Guangdong Province on Tuesday, 9 April.
Specifically, the company noted that the construction site is placed in a typhoon-prone area, meaning complex geological sea condition, extreme working environment, limited construction surface and the dense cross operation, all of these increase the construction difficulty for the project team.
Moreover, Huadian Wenqiang set sail towards Zhanjiang in mid-March to start working on the wind farm, which represents its first construction project.
The success installing the first wind turbine presents the professional construction of the Hengtong wind power operation platform under complex sea conditions, and the comprehensive competitive strength of Hengtong in the field of offshore wind power.

Huadian Wenqiang platform was constructed in January 2018 and completed on February 15, 2019.
The platform, a four pile leg non-autonomous but self-propelled wind power platform, covers the demand of wind farms in coastal areas and shallow sea areas in China. It has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, reasonable design, advanced configuration and economic cost.
