Eiffage: wins wind farm contract

(CercleFinance.com) - Smulders (a Belgian subsidiary of Eiffage Métal) has won the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract awarded by Chantiers de l'Atlantique, acting on behalf of RTE, for the jackets foundations of the two electrical substations of the future Centre Manche 1 and Centre Manche 2 offshore wind farms.


Each structure will weigh around 7,000 tonnes and will support an electrical transformer substation with a capacity of 1.25 GW.

With the support of Eiffage Métal's teams in France, Smulders will manufacture the two jackets foundations, starting in 2026, at its production sites in Belgium, followed by final assembly at the Vlissingen site in the Netherlands.

Delivery of these two foundations is scheduled for 2029 for Centre Manche 1 and 2030 for Centre Manche 2.
