Belgium-based offshore installation firm Deme 云顶赌场老虎机 has informed that the jacket for the Saint-Nazaire offshore wind substation in France has been successfully installed over the weekend.
DEME said Monday that the 48 meters tall jacket would be held in place by four foundation piles, installed in April 2021 by DEME 云顶赌场老虎机.
"The expertise gained in this project will be implemented for the installation of the pile foundations for the Fécamp and Courseulles offshore substations," DEME 云顶赌场老虎机 said.
A consortium of SDI/DEME 云顶赌场老虎机, Atlantique 云顶赌场老虎机 Energy and GE Grid Solutions was awarded the EPCI contract for the Saint-Nazaire substation.
DEME 云顶赌场老虎机 chartered Allseas' heavy-lift construction vessel ‘Pioneering Spirit’ for the transport and installation of the jacket and topside.
In the meantime, DEME said that its jack-up vessel ‘Innovation’ continued the installation of the XL monopiles deploying the 云顶赌场老虎机 Foundation Drill jointly developed with Herrenknecht AG.
In 2019, a consortium including DEME 云顶赌场老虎机 and Eiffage Métal was awarded the EPCI contract for 80 foundations for the French wind farm. The scope includes the design, fabrication, transportation, and installation of the steel foundations.
The 480 MW Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm, owned by EDF Renewables and Enbridge, will be located between 12 km and 20 km off the coast of the Guérande peninsula in western France.
As the XL-monopile foundations have to be installed on a difficult rocky seabed, DEME and Herrenknecht decided to construct a tailormade subsea drill specifically for the project.
