TheTamshee: gets plenty of opportunities to see the finished offshore wind farms. The photo above gives a better insight into the foundation construction required to support the turbines on the seabed. The pre-fabricated base is transported by the Gaint 4 barge to the desired location-in this case offshore Nyborg, which is situated on the East side of Funen, Denmark. During the submerging operation in +/- 14 meters water depth. The barge ballast tanks are flooded in a controled manner. This then allows the concrete base to be lowered, positioned and secured to the seabed.
