Currently contracted by Hochtief Solutions on the GT1 offshore wind farm for Global Tech client. Tripod foundations weighing 838t with 3 x 230t piles driven through the tripod sleeves. I think that makes the Innovation the largest ;-))

Altrocché rigassificatori. Ci sono altri siti che non siano impattanti the suggerire? Ma…le pale eoliche sopportano la bora?
