Today, RWE Innogy UK announced the financial close of the Galloper offshore wind farm project which is located 27 km off the Suffolk coast. GeoSea has been awarded the EPC (Enginerring, Procurement, Construction and Installation) foundation contract.

GeoSea has the responsibility for the design, fabrication and installation of 56 steel monopile foundations, which will be driven into the seabed to provide a solid base for each of the wind turbines. The monopiles which will be used for this project are the heaviest that GeoSea ever installed with weights in excess of 1100 tons.

The installation of the foundations at the offshore site is scheduled towards the end of 2016.

The scour protection works for the foundations will be undertaken by Tideway, another company within the DEME Group.

The construction of the Galloper offshore wind project brings the UK a step closer to achieving significant clean energy and carbon reduction benefits. The estimated annual production is expected to be equivalent to the domestic needs of approximately 336,000 average UK households. To achieve this target, 56 6 MW turbines will be installed.
