TenneT has completed the directional drilling under the beach and part of the seabed at Maasvlakte. Nine plastic protective conduits have now been laid in the boreholes, forming a protected passage for the electricity cables of the offshore wind farms. In the coming period, TenneT will connect the protective conduits for the IJmuiden Ver Gamma and Nederwiek 2 wind farms to the conduits previously laid from land under the dunes.
The cable connections will soon bring the sustainable electricity from the three wind farms from the North Sea to the national high-voltage grid. Because the water off the coast of Maasvlakte is too shallow for a cable-laying vessel, the ship cannot get close enough to the beach. Therefore, protective conduits have been laid under the beach and part of the seabed. These form part of the protected passage through which the high-voltage cables can be safely pulled from the sea to land.
Now that the drilling has been completed, the next phase is connecting the conduit pipes from the sea to the conduit pipes previously laid from land beneath the dunes. To
