The Fujian Changle Waihai Area A&C offshore wind farm located approximately 22km from onshore, and the water depth is from 31m to 45m. The OWF includes 72 x 3-leg suction pile jacket foundations with 1 x 6.7MW, 50 x 8MW, 21 x 10MW wind turbines.  The length of suction pile is from 17 – 26m long and outside diameter is from 10 to 15m.  

SPT Offshore cooperates closely with her Chinese partner Yongfu Power Engineering for both the suction pile jacket design and suction installation services. This is the first of the 57no upto 10MW WTG suction pile jackets for Fujian Changle Waihai Area C developed by the Fujian Energy Group. Another 15no upto 8 MW WTG suction pile jackets will be installed this year as well for Changle Waihai Area A, which is being developed by China Three Gorges (CTG).
