Fabrication of the foundations for the 400MW project, made up of 67 of Siemens’ 6MW SWT-6.0-154s installed in 18-25 metres of water, will start next year.

“The project plays to our strengths in geotechnical and offshore structural engineering, and we look forward to working with Statoil to deliver the project,” says Aktins’ renewables business unit managing director David Parkin.

Structural design and analysis for the monopiles as well as geotechnical engineering are “already underway”, according to Atkins.
