Saipem has successfully completed the installation of 114 offshore wind turbine foundations, part of the development of the Seagreen offshore wind farm, located approximately 27 kilometres off the coast of Angus, in the North Sea.
The wind farm is being developed by Seagreen Wind Energy, a joint venture between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies, and Saipem has executed the activities on behalf of the client Seaway7.
Seagreen, once completed, will be Scotland's largest offshore wind farm and will have the capacity to power over 1.6 million homes.
The installation of the foundations has been carried out by the Saipem 7000 vessel, one of the largest semi-submersible crane vessels in the world, during a series of offshore campaigns.
Gianalberto Secchi, COO of Saipem's Offshore Wind Business Line, commented: “This new milestone achieved by Saipem consolidates our strategic positioning in the offshore wind sector, a fundamental part of our offer of solutions for the energy transition. It also demonstrates the competitiveness of our assets in this market, as well as the professionalism of our people, who have achieved this milestone by employing more than one million hours of work with the highest health and safety standards".
