DEME’s offshore installation vessel Apollo has arrived at the 496MW Dieppe le Tréport offshore wind farm in France.
The vessel’s crew and project team are now preparing the piling operations for the first of the 62 jacket foundations.
DEME will transport and install the pin piles and jackets forming the foundations for 62 wind turbines, as well as take care of the transport and installation of the pin piles, the jacket, and the topside for the offshore substation.
It will also execute the EPCI contract for a total of 120 km of inter-array cables.
The project in Dieppe le Tréport is another large-scale offshore wind farm project for DEME in France.
It follows groundbreaking solutions deployed in recent years at Saint-Nazaire and the Iles d’Yeu and Noirmoutier offshore wind farm.
The Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm – which was developed by Les Éoliennes en Mer Services and is owned by OW Ocean Winds, Sumitomo Corporation, and Banque des Territoires – is set to supply almost 850,000 people with renewable energy.
