Ailes Marines and Navantia Seanergies announce the boarding of the first four jacket foundations of the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm.
The companies Ailes Marines and Navantia Seanergies announce today the loading on barge of the first four jacket foundations which will support the 62 8 MW Siemens Gamesa (SG 8.0-167 DD) wind turbines of the offshore wind farm, in the bay of Saint-Brieuc .
This is the last stage of a successful and pioneering project for the Navantia Windar consortium which mobilized its teams on the sites of Brest in France and Fene in Spain.
This achievement definitively strengthens the position of Navantia Seanergies as the main supplier of structures dedicated to offshore wind energy in France.
This boarding operation at the Navantia Seanergies site in Fene (Galicia-Spain) will take place over 4 days.
The jacket foundations of 1,150 tonnes and a height of 75 m made up of 3 legs measuring 25 meters on each side will be installed on the “Sarens Caroline” barge mobilized by the Van Oord company which will install them on the site.
At cruising speed, two barges will be mobilized by Van Oord which will each transport four jackets.
The first jacket foundations should be installed during the summer in Saint-Brieuc park.
Around ten vessels will be mobilized, including the Seven Borealis and the North Sea Shipping which will lift the foundations and anchor them on their three piles.
The components of the 62 jacket foundations were partly built and assembled on the Brest polder by the company Navantia Windar and in Fené (Spain).
On the Brest site, 250 jobs were mobilized over two years for their creation.
