Moray West awards foundation installation contract to DEME Offshore

Monday, December 12 2022

Wind Energy – Moray West

After the successful completion of Moray East for Ocean Winds in 2020, DEME is pleased to announce that it will be back in the Moray Firth installing the foundations for the Moray West offshore wind farm in Scotland.

Moray West is the second major project undertaken for Ocean Winds, which is leading the development.

DEME Offshore’s scope includes the installation of monopile foundations and transition pieces.

In an industry breakthrough, this challenging project will be the first time XXL monopiles will be installed in the winter period, and DEME will deploy its double-staged, motion compensated pile gripper.

Moray West will also be the first time a vibro-hammer is being utilised for the XXL monopiles to overcome weaker soil layers.

As well as the XXL monopiles and transition pieces, DEME will perform the bolting and grouting works for the monopile/transition piece connections.

​The DP3 offshore installation vessel Orion is set to install the monopiles and jack-up Apollo will be deployed for the installation of transition pieces. DEME’s expertise regarding this exceptionally challenging project will be combined with its high-tech fleet and specialised equipment, to ensure that the installation campaigns in 2023-2024 can be carried out efficiently.

With this new order DEME Offshore has a full orderbook for the Orion for the next three years.
