Moray East jacket foundations installed offshore Scotland

DEME Offshore has installed the last jacket foundation for the 950-MW Moray East wind farm in the Moray Firth in Scotland.

The company was awarded the full EPCI scope for 100 wind turbine foundations plus three offshore substation platform foundations in December 2018.

DEME Offshore contracted Lamprell for the fabrication of 45 wind turbine foundation jackets and three offshore substation jackets. The remaining 55 jackets were awarded to Smulders, which constructed them at facilities in Belgium and Newcastle.

According to the company, it delivered unique solutions, such as a combined WTG foundation and OSP foundation design, accurate and high-speed pre-piling, a pile-pin locking system for grouting and special lifting and positioning tools.
