PRINCESS ELISABETH ISLAND / MOG 2 PROJECT – Flushing, Netherlands
Since January 2024, we are producing the foundations for what will become the Princess Elisabeth Island. The island will be the world’s first artificial energy island, a six-hectare island out of the sea, or the size of twelve football fields. Located off the Belgian coast in the North Sea, the island will transform the renewable energy produced by offshore wind farms, make connections to other national electricity grids, and monitor energy production.
The caissons are produced in Flushing, Netherlands with the size of 58 m long, 28 m high and 28 m wide (20,000 tons apiece). The building process of the caissons takes place in five major production steps and the walls are constructed using our gantry slipform system.
