In Le Havre, Soletanche Bachy Fondations Sp\u00e9ciales to Build Foundations for a Wind Turbine Factory<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>

After contributing to the construction of the main plant in 2020, Soletanche Bachy Fondations Sp\u00e9ciales is now part of a consortium responsible for building the foundations of the SIEMENS GAMESA factory extension, which will manufacture offshore wind turbine blades. For this project, two drilling rigs have been mobilized, including the F5000 rig, to install STARSOL\u00ae piles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

A Major Project for Next-Generation Wind Turbines<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>

Following the commissioning of the SIEMENS GAMESA factory in 2022, a new chapter begins with the launch of an ambitious expansion project. The goal: to produce 115-meter-long blades for 14 MW offshore wind turbines\u2014among the most powerful in the market.
\nAfter a call for tenders issued by SIEMENS GAMESA, the consortium that built the original facility in 2020 was once again selected to carry out this strategic extension.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The consortium includes Soletanche Bachy Fondations Sp\u00e9ciales and several well-known partners: GTM, SNO TP, EUROVIA, AXIMA, M\u00c9NARD, and BOTTE FONDATIONS.
\nSoletanche Bachy Fondations Sp\u00e9ciales has deployed two high-capacity drilling rigs, including the F5000, to construct 115 fully reinforced STARSOL\u00ae piles. These piles reach depths of over 40 meters, with diameters of 620 mm and 820 mm. This technical achievement highlights our teams\u2019 expertise and the innovation behind the Starsol\u00ae solution.<\/p>\n

To date, 115 piles have been drilled, totaling 4,011 linear meters, with lengths reaching up to 42.50 m and an average of 30.5 m. Some piles incorporate T-Pile technology with lugs, driven more than 30 meters deep.
\nOur equipment \u2014 including a drilling rig and an F3500 \u2014 has been heavily used to maintain the pace and meet project objectives.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the teams involved!<\/p>\n<\/div>
