Calvados

Bladt Industries won the contract to deliver 64 transition pieces for the Calvados offshore wind farm in France. Bladt Industries was awarded the contract by Saipem SA, a subsidiary of Saipem (an Italian global solution provider for energy and infrastructures sectors).

The fabrication was planned to start in August 2021. Each transition piece has a height of 24 meters and a weight of approximately 500 tons.

Fabrication of all 64 transition pieces took place at Bladt Industries’ production facilities in Aalborg, Denmark, and final load out happened in 2023.

The Calvados offshore wind farm consists of 64 wind turbines with a total capacity of 450 MW, located 16 km off the French coast in water depths ranging from 22 to 31 meters.

The wind farm will produce enough electricity to supply 630,000 people, which is more than 90% of the people who live in the Calvados region.
