FoundOcean to grout the first Alstom 6MW Haliade 150 offshore turbine

By Nic Sharpley | July 1, 2013

FoundOcean to grout the first offshore trial of the Alstom 6MW Haliade 150 turbine

The structure will support a turbine off the coast of Belgium, about July 2013.

FoundOcean continues to grow its market share in the offshore renewables industry with a contract award from Alstom to grout the foundations for the first offshore trial of its 6MW Haliade 150 turbine.

The turbine will be located near Ostend, 45 km off the Belgian coast. The offshore tests will target specific marine operations and procedures. Onshore tests at full 6MW output were recently completed in France. Following this Alstom plan to produce pre-series units in 2014.

“The turbine will be housed on a four-legged jacket with pins inserted into pre-driven piles. FoundOcean has completed many pre-driven pile grouting projects for offshore wind farms, including the award winning Ormonde offshore wind farm in 2010 and Thornton Bank Phases 2 and 3 in 2011,” says John Paul O’Sullivan, Engineering Manager, FoundOcean.

The project, with a client specification to use Masterflow 9500 ultra-high strength grout, will mobilize in July 2013.
