FoundOcean has successfully completed the grouting of foundations at Gemini Wind Farm on behalf of the main contractor, Van Oord. The offshore wind farm, situated 85 kilometres north of the Dutch province of Groningen, is made up of 150 wind turbines spanning across 2 sites. The 600 MW wind farm wil
Smart Hydro Power, a German-based engineering company, has developed a turbine which exploits the kinetic energy of flowing waters to produce electricity. Because it is powered by kinetic energy and not with potential energy it is known as a so called ‘zero-head’ or ‘in-stream’ turbine, and as such,
