As part of a development project related to the future offshore wind farm ”Parc éolien en mer de Fécamp” in France, MT Højgaard is to install a deep water concrete foundation employing new techniques that will reduce cost of offshore wind farm. The newly developed prototype foundation is based on proven technologies known from the oil and gas, tunnel and bridge industry and in combination with the installation method. The foundation is to be towed about 25 kilometres into the Channel from Le Havre, and then placed in the exact position where the depth of the sea is 35 metres.The installation of the prototype foundation will take place at the end of 2014.
