2021 was rounded off in great fashion as OPTIMUM accompanied RTE in the successful completion of the trenchless drilling section of the Calvados offshore windfarm project on the Normandy coast.<\/p>\n
No less than 5 dual HDD crossings, from 100m to 430m long, were drilled through Caen limestone to carry the 225 kV cables under 2 roads, a dual carriageway, a canal and the river Orne. This trenchless section is a key step in connecting the offshore wind turbines to the electricity substation.<\/p>\n
OPTIMUM engineers reviewed the operating methods of each of the 3 drilling contractors involved, BIR, COQUART & FILS and FNO, and then supported RTE with a G4 works supervision mission throughout the 10-month-long drilling operations.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to RTE for the opportunity to be part of another big renewables project and to the drilling contractors for their constructive dialogue over the past year.<\/p>\n
