This morning, Bladt Industries completed the last load-out for the Wikinger project with the 41st, and final, jacket foundation placed on a barge, the company reported via social media.
Soon, the foundation will be heading for its final destination at Iberdrola’s Wikinger offshore wind farm site in the Baltic Sea.
The first jacket foundations built by Bladt for the Wikinger offshore wind project left the company’s facilities at Lindø Industripark on a barge in mid-July.
Bladt Industries has fabricated 41 four-legged jackets and 164 piles for the 350MW Wikinger offshore wind farm, which will consist of 70 wind turbines. The remaining 29 foundations are being produced by Spanish company Navantia.
The jacket foundations weigh approximately 650 tonnes and have a footprint of 23 x 23 metres each.
The EUR 1.4 billion Wikinger is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2017.
