Ørsted’s maintenance base for Borssele

Challenging location

At the site in the outer harbour of Vlissingen, we are building an office with accompanying storage facilities from where four boats will sail to the wind farm every day during its construction and maintenance. The groundwork and hydraulic engineering at the site is a challenge because of the adjacent Vlissingen railway station. The train tracks lie within five metres of the building site. Moreover, a busy traffic intersection towards the Vlissingen outer harbour lies on the other side of the site. 

Energy neutral

Ørsted takes care of sustainable energy both offshore and onshore as it is not only the wind farm that will generate renewable energy: the maintenance building will produce more energy than it consumes by means of advanced techniques which include solar panels.
