What types of services have you carried out for Ailes Marines ?

“ Ailes Marines asked us to supply a network of seven oceanographic meteorological and environmental measurement buoys for monitoring construction work on the offshore wind farm in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc. These oceanographic buoys, developed entirely by NKE Instrumentation, will be equipped with new multi-parameter probes from the WiMo range in order to measure in real time the level of turbidity at 1.50 meters below the water surface as well as at 3 meters above below the bottom. We look forward to working alongside Ailes Marines to provide clean energy in France, thanks to our cutting-edge substation technology and our expertise in integrating renewable energy into the onshore electricity grid. . »
