Distinctive cofferdam building
For this undertaking, Ballast Nedam developed a singular resolution for putting in land generators on water, by combining the higher construction of the inspiration resolution – usually used on land – with the decrease construction of a marine resolution. This creates a cofferdam building that types the premise for the turbine foundations. On this means, we’re making use of a confirmed method with this distinctive cofferdam building.
The set up of the wind generators, kind V162-5.6 MW, for the onshore a part of the undertaking was already accomplished in November 2022. In complete, the wind farm has an put in capability of over 335 MW.
