Great to be part of another big renewables project, accompanying EDF Renouvelables during the successful installation of the HDPE duct bundle for the Provence Grand Large offshore wind turbine pilot project. The 743-metre-long HDD landfall will ultimately connect 3 “floating” turbines 17km off the coast of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, near Marseille, to the French electricity grid.
Prior to construction, OPTIMUM supported the PGL project team by optimising onshore and offshore geotechnical investigations, modelling, and validating the trenchless engineering hypotheses.
OPTIMUM’s specialist engineers then supervised HDD operations onsite for the duration of the works, continuously monitoring drilling parameters, validating the drill path and providing compliance control.
Thanks to EDF Renouvelables / Provence Grand Large and HDI for the excellent cooperation and teamwork.
