Saitec Offshore has completed the assembly operation of the precast elements of DemoSATH hull. DemoSATH prototype consists of two hulls, each having three prefabricated segments.
The positioning and pivoting maneuver of these pieces has been carried out using two cranes with capacities of up to 500 tons. The next phase involves the full assembly of the prototype and the execution of the rest of the elements of the platform, such as the installation of the tower and the wind turbine. Saitec Offshore Technologies and RWE Renewables will test SATH floating platform on which will be mounted a 2MW wind turbine. The base of the structure will be approximately 30 metres wide and 64 metres long. The platform will be towed in the third quarter of 2022 to its anchorage point in a test field (BiMEP) 2 miles off the Basque coast (Spain) where the sea is about 85 metres deep.
