Danish contractor Ramboll has secured the contract as foundation designer for Skyborn Renewables’ 945MW Gennaker Offshore Wind Park in the German Baltic Sea.
Its mandate is to develop the basic and detailed design of 63 monopile foundations that will support the 15MW-class turbines at the offshore wind park.
The engineering team is tasked with devising strategies that address the Baltic Sea’s unique geotechnical challenges, while ensuring feasible and efficient interaction with installation methods.
Ramboll will also aid Skyborn throughout the necessary regulatory approval and certification processes.
“Gennaker stands as the German Baltic Sea’s most ambitious offshore wind project at a gigawatt-scale,” said Global executive director wind at Ramboll Tim Fischer.
“Our team is thrilled to lend our design expertise for yet another project in this region after already being responsible for the foundation design for Arkona Becken, Baltic Eagle and Windanker.
“Gennaker represents a significant leap towards Germany’s renewable energy targets, and we are incredibly honored to contribute to this journey.”
Skyborn project director Daniel Lorenz added: “With the selection of Ramboll, to carry out the foundation design for our Gennaker Offshore Wind Park, we are getting one of the most experienced design contractors on board.
“Baltic Sea projects have unique site conditions, where experience plays an important role in the process of optimizing the design for a monopile foundation.”
