Two milestones have been passed in the MOG2 project in Vlissingen, Netherlands: The first caisson has been slipformed and then transferred to station 3 on the production site!
For the construction of the caisson, our heavy-duty slipform system was used and the skidding operation was performed with our hydraulic IP-CCV system.
MOG2 Energy Island Project (Princess Elisabeth Island) in the North Sea will be an energy hub 45 km off the Belgian coast connecting new wind farms and additional interconnectors (to the UK and Denmark) to Belgium’s onshore power grid. When completed, Princess Elisabeth Island will be the world’s first artificial energy island.
