The project will use a combination of jacket and XXL monopile foundations. The jackets delivered to Leith are up to 83 metres tall and weigh between 2050 tonnes and 2250 tonnes. Each foundation consists of a lattice steel framework with three legs and a transition piece that the wind turbine tower will be bolted to. The first batch was transported on the heavy transport vessel Hua Yang Long. COOEC-Fluor Heavy Industries has been contracted to deliver all 18 jacket foundations for the project as well as 24 monopile transition pieces. During installation the jackets will be lowered onto the seabed and secured to pre-installed pin piles.
