Bauer Group installs foundation for a marine powerplant

摘要

In late July, Bauer Renewables Ltd, a subsidiary of Bauer Spezialtiefbau GmbH and part of the international construction and machinery manufacturing concern Bauer AG, installed a drilled-in monopile foundation structure for a marine energy turbine for the client Voith Hydro. This took place off-shore at the test site of the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland. A challenge was posed by the drilling works at a water depth of 37 m, and also by the extremely strong currents of up to 4.5 m/s.
