Atkins is to design 62 jacket foundations for Ailes Marines’ 496MW St Brieuc offshore wind farm off the northern coast of France.
The engineering consultancy, which is part of the SNV-Lavalin Group, will deliver front end engineering design and detailed designs of the jackets.
Atkins director of offshore wind Andy Thompson said: “This adds to our growing portfolio of offshore wind projects that provide clean energy and play a crucial part in Europe’s energy mix.
“It is important that as we work with an international supply chain, we advance the deployment of cost effective renewable energy technologies.”
Ailes Marines is a consortium of Iberdrola, RES and Caisse des depots.
St Brieuc is scheduled to be operational in 2023 and will feature 8MW Siemens Gamesa turbines.
