FoundOcean, on behalf of Geosea, has completed the grouting of the XL monopile foundations at DONG Energy’s Gode Wind 1 and 2 offshore wind farm. The wind farm, which is located in the German sector of the North Sea, is the latest wind farm to fix its foundations using the MasterFlow 9500 material from BASF.

GeoSea selected the MasterFlow 9500 material for its mechanical properties which included its high early strengths, its volume stability and for its impressive longterm durability.

FoundOcean’s Managing Director Jim Bell commented:
“The offshore grouting operation, although significant, is just one aspect of delivering a successful project for our client.”

Bell added:
“by drawing on our experience FoundOcean aims to provide innovative, valued and reliable solutions to our clients’ specific project requirements both onshore and offshore.”

DONG Energy's Gode Wind 1 (252 MW) and Gode Wind 2 (330 MW) wind farms are being erected 45 kilometres from the German coast in average water depths of 33 meters. Last month DONG announced that the final foundation for the project had been installed. The two projects are the first sites to use Siemens’ new six-megawatt wind turbines (SWT-6.0-154) for an offshore wind farm in Germany.
