Asso.subsea, in partnership with Prysmian Powerlink, has completed the cable installation, burial and protection operations for the Provence Grand Large Floating Offshore Wind Project, located in the Mediterranean Sea.
The floating wind pilot project is being developed by EDF Renewables and its partners 17 km off the France coast, on a 100 m deep site. Asso.subsea was responsible for marine works, including engineering, cable loading of export and inter-array dynamic cables, route preparation, cable installation and configuration of lazy wave, burial and protection, along with horizontal directional drilling operations for the landing point.
The company also connected the turbines to the Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône station. To do so, it deployed the CLV Atalanti, designed for shallow waters. Asso.subsea says the vessel was pivotal to tackle the challenges of the 780 m landing point at the shallow waters of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône.
“Asso.subsea takes immense pride in participating in France’s first floating wind farm developed by EDF Renewables and its partners,” says Dimitris Panagos, director of offshore wind at Asso.subsea.
“During the last three years, we have worked meticulously performing very detailed engineering analyses as a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability. By contributing to EU and national targets for renewable energy generation and greenhouse gas emission reduction, this accomplishment reaffirms our company’s steadfast commitment to facilitating the green transition.”
