Tendering
Get the Rules and Price Right
– the First Time
For smooth and cost competitive pro-
ject implementation, the approach to
procurement planning and tendering is
of vital importance. During this process
the interaction between the owner and
developer on the one side and the sup-
pliers and contractors on the other is
outlined and project risks limited.
Our procurement experts have over the
years supported wind farm developers
in the procurement process, moni-
toring of contract implementation
and commissioning of plants. Our
assistance covers procurement plans,
enabling requirements for project
implementation, tender document pre-
paration, contract basis, bid schedules,
bid evaluation, contract negotiation,
contract management and follow-up
and claims management.
Construction

Logistics Health and Safety

Implementation the Smart Way Keeping You on the Safe Side

An important and cost saving aspect of
the construction phase is well planned
logistics and optimised transportation
of all equipment from the manufac-
turer’s site to the construction site.
Close and efficient monitoring at the
manufacturer’s site can also increase the
overall efficiency of the whole project,
ensuring timely delivery and budget
performance.
We have demonstrated on several wind
farm projects (incl. large scale offshore
projects) that savings can be made
through detailed and efficient planning
of logistics, optimisation of harbour

Project and Interface
Management
Your Success on Our Competences
Working environments for wind farm
activities are high risk construction
areas with large construction materials
and a large scale investment, so prioti-
sation on health and safety is essential.
Health and safety management is an
integral part of managing wind con-
struction, partly in relation to creating
a culture of safe working practices and
at the same time safeguarding the
future success of the wind farm. Legal
requirements for health and safety dif-
fer from country to country, but have
to be fully respected and integrated
into project implementation.
We support in establishing health &
safety management procedures and
guidelines, performing audits, analy-
sing and reporting on incidents and in
following up on causes. We also carry
out audits at manufacturers’ sites.

Project management and interface

management are essential elements in
ensuring the success of construction.
Our project managers are experts in
project and interface management
during construction activities with focus
on delivering on time, to quality and
budget, meeting all specifications.
We provide support at the construction
site and at the manufacturers’ produ-
ction sites and we manage the supply
chain activities with logistics manage-
ment and contract and claims manage-
ment. Our people also manage and
supervise activities through manufactu-
ring supervision and site and installation
supervision at the construction location.
Finally, we handle testing and commis-
sioning activities.

Nørrekær Enge Onshore Wind Farm, Denmark
Description
In Denmark commercial wind farming
has existed for some 20 years. As the
development of wind turbines in terms
of effect and dimensions has been
gradually increased since the beginning
of commercial wind farming initiated in the
80’s, some 175 MW of the installed Danish
wind energy capacity today is produced by
wind turbines subject to replacement by
modern MW range wind turbines.
With the wind turbine scrap and
replacement act of 2004, the Danish
government has made way for a
modernisation and effect improvement
of the existing Danish onshore wind farm
capacity, without introducing new onshore
wind farm sites. The act allows for old, less
effective wind turbines to be replaced with
modern and more effective ones.
Grontmij | Carl Bro has provided
consultancy services to Vattenfall A/S in the
complete design and project management
of the Nørrekær Enge Onshore Wind
Farm, on the coast of the inland waters,
Limfjorden, in the northern part of Denmark.
The project consists of a replacement of 77
wind turbines installed from 1988 to 1990
with a combined capacity of 17 MW. The
turbines are replaced with 13 Siemens 2,3
MW turbines with a combined capacity of 30
MW, equivalent to the energy demand of ~
30.000 households.
Grontmij | Carl Bro has designed and
provided the documentation for a DNV
certified foundation design for the wind
turbines. The foundations are customized
to the soil conditions on site, calling for a
combination of pile supported and direct
gravity based foundations. The foundation
design is performed in accordance with
IEC 61.400-1 code. Grontmij | Carl Bro
has provided all tender documents and
conducted the negotiations with the involved
contractors on behalf of the client, Vattenfall
A/S.
During 2009 Grontmij | Carl Bro has
supervised all works on site, and managed
the project in total.

Feasibility Study
Project Description
Taean Offshore Wind Farm (indicated with
an ”X” on figure) is located 6 km off the
western coast of Korea.
Republic of Korea has a long developed
onshore wind farm program, and the
first offshore wind farms are now under
preparation. The company IREE has by the
ministry been awarded consent to prepare
an offshore wind farm around 200 MW off
Daesan Hang in southwest of Seoul.
During 2008 Grontmij | Carl Bro prepared
a Feasibility study. The study also
included assessment of possible tidal
power technology and sucktion-bucket
technology. Meteorological mast were
installed. Preliminary wind farm layouts
and production estimates were provided.
The layout considered production, visual
aspects, geotechnical situation, grid
connection, environmental issues and
navigation.
The Wind Farm Area
The area is a scenic cliff coast with resort
areas. The whole coastline suffered under
an oil tanker spillage in autumn 2007, but
there is strong local political support to a
possible wind farm project. Wind- and
wave regime in the area seems modest,
but is not yet verified.
Foundations
Geotechnical properties are challenging
with water depths of 10-30 m and
additionally 10-20 m of mud or soft clay.
Feasible foundation types are concrete
gravity based or steel mono-piles,
though there is also a local know-
how with suction-buckets for bridge
construction.
Electrical Interconnection
There is a 3500 MW coal-fired Thermal
Power Plant located at the shore with
interconnection to the national 345 kV
transmission system. So interconnection
to the Electrical transmission system
is feasible, even without an offshore
transformer Platform.
Environmental Study
The primary areas of possible concern
are related to: Fishing, navigation, resting
birds, visual impacts and recreational
activities.
Planned installation: After 2010.

Marsa Alam Wind Farm (indicated with an
”X” on the figure) is located near the Red
Sea coast, about 200 km south of Hurghada.
Main components of the planned project in-
clude:
• 20 MW Wind Farm, consisting of 20-
24 turbines, cooperating with an
existing Diesel power plant.
• Gravity based concrete foundations
• Electrical interconnection to nearby
power plant
Marsa Alam Tourist Development Area is not
interconnected to the national grid but has
its own electrical power supply from a local
diesel power plant. The wind farm is meant
to save diesel consumption. Current instal-
led diesel capacity is 30 MW, which is plan-
ned to increase to approximately 200 MW
during the next 20 years of development of
the area. The wind farm will operate as an
ordinary grid connected wind farm, however
a central regulation of the power output will
be possible in order to keep wind power pro-
duction below certain limits of the total elec-
trical production.
