ZWIJNDRECHT, BelgiumDEME Offshore has completed foundation piling operations at the Moray East offshore wind farm in the UK.

The company’s installation vessel Apollo installed 309 piles in what was said to be a complex and varied seabed geology.

The company developed a piling template that was designed to integrate with the jackup legs of the Apollo. It also developed an underwater drilling tool to cope with hard and rocky layers and relief drilling to install the piles in these challenging conditions.

As part of the second stage of offshore works, the company’s newbuild installation vessel Orion will integrate 103 jacket foundation structures and three topside modules.
