A jack up barge being used to construct the Walney off shore wind farm, Irish sea, UK.
The Walney Offshore Windfarm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria. The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. When finished it will have 102 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. This shot shows the jack up barge that hammers the monopiles into the sea bed and here is fitting a transition piece onto the top of the monopile.
