ROCKMAT is an innovative and patented concept of offshore wind foundations adapted to rocky or uneven seabeds.<br /><br />With no site preparation or drilling, ROCKMAT is a lower cost solution that can be implemented using only the local industry and at no cost to the marine environment.<br /><br />ROCKMAT is a self-floating foundation, lowered by hydrodynamic ballast. Accurate leveling is achieved by a system of underwater jacks. Concrete is injected in flexible cofferdams bags to fill in seabed irregularities of 1 meter, eliminating the need for site preparation.<br /><br />BENEFITS<br />* No seabed preparation<br />* No costly lifting operation <br />* No need to core boreholes, except in special cases<br />* The construction can be performed by the local industry<br />* Easy decommissioning by an air injection into the caisson<br />* No environmental impact on the seabed<br />* Structure can be reused/moved<br /><br />PARTNERS<br />* CETEAL, Structure<br />* CATHIE ASSOCIATES, Geotechnics<br />* DV OFFSHORE, Marine Operations<br />* BUSINESS CRESCENDO, Business Development
