PRINCESS ELISABETH ISLAND / MOG 2 PROJECT – Flushing, Netherlands
In January 2024, caisson production began for what would become the Princess Elisabeth Island. The island is 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 were 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 took place in five major production steps and the walls were constructed using our heavy-duty slipform system.
