DEME, Herrenknecht to fabricate subsea drill for the 480 MW Saint-Nazaire offshore wind power project

DEME Offshore and Herrenknecht have signed an agreement for the fabrication of a subsea drill to be deployed at the Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm in France. 

The 480 MW Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm, owned by EDF Renewables and Enbridge, will be located between 12 km and 20 km off the coast of the Guérande peninsula in western France. The XL-monopile foundations have to be installed on a difficult rocky seabed.

DEME Offshore and Herrenknecht are fabricating an innovative tailormade subsea drill specifically for the project. It enables the installation of XL-monopile foundations on a difficult rocky seabed.
