First Gravity-Based Foundation Loaded and Ready for Fécamp Site

The first of 71 gravity-based foundations for the 500 MW Fécamp offshore wind farm has been placed on its transport barge at the Bougainville yard in the Grand Port Maritime of Le Havre, France, ahead of transport and installation at the project site off the coast of Normandy.
The consortium of Boskalis, Saipem, and Bouygues Construction is in charge of supplying and installing the foundations for the offshore wind farm located between 13 and 22 kilometres off the French coast.

The fabrication of the foundations started in December 2020, with the first units completed earlier this year.
