Alfa Laval's Pumping Systems to Support Seagreen Wind Farm Installation
contract at the wind farm.The wind farm is a 1,075MW joint project between SSE Renewables (49%) and Total (51%) off the East coast of Scotland. Saipem's scope of work entails the installation of 114 foundations for an equivalent number of wind turbines. The turbines will be supplied by MHI Vestas Offshore Wind.Framo pumping systems will be used in a so-called suction bucket technology in the installation of Seagreen. Framo pumping systems' suction (vacuum) technology will secure and safely anchor the wind turbine platforms to the seabed. The technology has been used to secure offshore oil

Wind Energy: The Good News in Offshore
uninitiated, there was something worrying about the bump-up against the grouted flanges turbine towers rested on. Grid operators then complained of suppliers’ rickety finances. Today’s operator-supplier bonds are robust, as illustrated by Esvagt signing a 15-year contract with MHI Vestas Offshore Wind to deploy SOVs to both near-shore and remote European wind projects in need of accommodation, W2W and the company’s deployable safe transfer boats, or STBs, for technicians, tools and turbine spares. In 2010, ESVAGT brought SOVs to the market that offered offshore-style leisure, office
DONG Plans World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm
be the world’s biggest offshore wind farm when completed. Building this offshore wind farm will bring us significantly closer to realizing our strategy of having 6.5GW of installed capacity online by 2020.” DONG said it will apply two different turbines: 40 8MW turbines from MHI Vestas Offshore Wind and 47 Siemens 7MW offshore turbines. Leupold continued, “British offshore wind has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. A prerequisite for long term growth in the industry is that offshore wind eventually can compete on costs with other energy technologies. Building Walney
European Offshore Wind Faces Make-or-break 2020 -Report
on its logistics and maintenance by switching to larger but fewer turbines. Markus Tacke, the head of Siemens' wind power business, said his company aims to improve production of turbine foundations, which have to be tailored for each installation. The chief executive of MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, meanwhile, said that variations in design and technology could hamper future growth. "We cannot have different technological platforms if we want to work together towards these common goals," Jens Thommerup said. A study issued by a consultancy group underscored
