Carnegie Starts Assembly and Onshore Testing Phase

Carnegie Wave Energy Limited announced that the assembly and pre-installation testing phase of the CETO units has now commenced at BAE Systems in Henderson, Western Australia.

The key equipment includes the three Buoyant Actuators that were yesterday delivered to the final pre-deployment location at BAE Systems in Henderson, WA. It is at this location where the Buoyant Actuators will be fitted out with instrumentation and energy relief systems prior to assembly to the balance of the CETO unit components (i.e. tethers, pumps, attachments and foundation connectors).

Key CETO unit equipment including hydraulic dampeners, attachments, foundation connectors, hydraulic motors, tether connectors and pumps have now either shipped from suppliers or arrived at the Henderson pre-deployment location ahead of assembly and onshore testing phase prior to offshore installation and commissioning.
