Van Oord has announced that it has been contracted to manufacture and install Mono Bucket foundations for two of the 33 wind turbines that will comprise the Deutsche Bucht wind farm, located in the German North Sea and owned by Canadian power producer Northland Power.
With offshore construction expected to start this summer, Deutsche Bucht will be the first wind farm worldwide to test this new type of foundation structure under commercial operating conditions. The structure is noteworthy as it benefits the environment, causing less disruption to local wildlife and can be completely decommissioned at the end of its lifetime.
The Mono Bucket foundations will be installed in the second quarter of 2019. Commissioning of the wind farm is expected to take place in the second half of 2019.
