Seatools, a leading subsea technology company, has been awarded a contract by CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering (CDWE) for the design, engineering, and delivery of the metrology and control system for the Pre-Piling Template (PPT) at the Fengmiao 1 Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan.

The Fengmiao 1 wind farm will feature jacket-type foundations installed using pre-installed pin piles. Seatools’ metrology and control system will be integrated into CDWE’s piling template to ensure accurate positioning of piles within tight tolerances—an essential element for successful jacket installation.

This marks the 15th pre-piling template project for Seatools, cementing its position as the market leader in this niche domain. Seatools’ extensive track record includes the successful execution of similar projects across Asia—specifically in Taiwan and South Korea—as well as in Europe and the United States.

Jan Frumau, Managing Director of Seatools, commented: “We are proud that CDWE has once again entrusted Seatools with this critical scope, following our earlier collaborations on Hai Long and Zhong Neng. This repeat business reflects the trust we’ve built through consistent delivery, technical excellence, and our ability to adapt to each project's unique challenges. With our proven technology and experience, we aim to deliver robust, high-performing equipment that enables CDWE to execute the piling campaign efficiently and without interruption.”

While the system design leverages proven technologies from Seatools’ extensive toolbox, the solution will also integrate new technologies to further boost operational efficiency during the piling campaign. Advanced simulation models will support first time-right installation, reducing offshore commissioning time and risk.

Engineering activities for the system are already underway and will continue in close collaboration with CDWE.
