GeoSea Designs, Manufactures and Installs Turbine Foundations for EnBW Offshore Windfarm Hohe See
GeoSea, a subsidiary of DEME, will design, manufacture and install 71 turbine foundations for the EnBW Hohe See offshore windfarm, for which GeoSea is Siemens’ EPCI partner. This partnership enables Siemens to provide offshore wind turbines including foundations to EnBW.
The design certification for the monopile and transition piece foundations was obtained end of 2016, the fabrication is foreseen in 2017 whilst offshore installation will take place in 2018. The EnBW Hohe See offshore wind farm is situated 90km north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea.
The project will cover an area of around 40m2 with water depths of up to 40m. Hohe See will have a total installed capacity of 497MW and feature 71 Siemens SWT-7.0-154 turbines. The wind farm will supply energy to about 560,000 households and save around 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
