Effective works Phase 2 - 3
2011 : week 14
Fabrication and assemblage of the steel structures for the Jacket foundations are ongoing at different yards all over the world, (Belgium-Netherlands-United Kingdom-Poland-Germany-South Korea)
Seabed preparations are ongoing by dredging at the locations of the foundations
The pile driving works started in area B of the windfarm. Steel piles of 40 to 50 m are driven into the seabed by a hammer installation mounted on the jack up platform Buzzard. To assure the correct locations of the piles a template is lowered onto the seabed
The offshore works were waiting on weather since the beginning of the week but started Wednesday evening 6th of April 2011 at 21 H. The pile template was lowered on the first location E1 and the 2 first piles were driven
