The foundations will be deployed with the help of Ballast Nedam’s heavy lift vessel Svanen.
Each foundation includes a monopile, steel tubular pile and a transition piece, the latter connects the monopile with the wind turbine’s tower.
Located in the German Bight, the Butendiek offshore wind farm consists of 80 turbines each with a capacity of 3.6MW.
Financial close of the wind power project, which is located at a depth in between 17 meters and 22 meters, is expected to be achieved by the end of 2011.
The power project will undergo the design and fabrication activities of the foundations during next year, and the wind turbine installation is scheduled for 2013.
Based in Germany, wpd is a developer and operator of windfarms across the globe.
