💨 NaRval Boosts Its Floating Wind Expertise   One month ago, NaRval teams successfully completed the supervision of the EFGL WTG integration — a pioneering floating wind project where NaRval played a key role in coordinating multiple contractors, from the arrival of the three floaters at Port-La-Nouvelle ⚓️ to their departure fully assembled with 10 MW turbines installed.   Beyond the three-month mission as Operation Manager for Euroports, this success reflects more than two years of involvement as technical experts — preparing documentation, methods, equipment, and tools to ensure everything was ready once the operations kicked off 🚀.   This project has been an incredible source of experience and learning for our team that will undoubtedly serve our future projects.   🔧 Key takeaways: ⚓️ Berthing operations 🏗️ Lifting ops on floaters, including synchronized load transfer and ballast management 🤝 Coordination & supervision between lifting, ballast, and tower teams 🌬️ Operational planning in challenging, high-wind environments 💡 …And many more valuable lessons learned   At NaRval Solutions, we keep building the expertise that drives the future of floating offshore wind. 🌊⚙️ More information, contact us: contact@narvalsolutions.fr and visit: www.narvalsolutions.fr #FloatingWind #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #NaRvalSolutions #Euroports #Vestas #EiffageMétal #Mammoet

Brextor® – From Pile Breaking to Geothermal Drilling Excellence ⚙️🌍 The Brextor® system is renowned for its precision in pile head breaking, but its versatility extends far beyond demolition. It also serves as an ideal solution for drilling boreholes for geothermal probes, combining efficiency, safety, and environmental care. Using its advanced rotary and hydraulic technology, Brextor® ensures accurate drilling with minimal vibration or ground disturbance—critical for geothermal energy systems. Its modular design allows quick adaptation from pile processing to deep borehole drilling, saving both time and equipment costs. By integrating precision engineering and sustainable application, Brextor® by BRC.swiss demonstrates how innovative machinery can support renewable energy development while maintaining top-tier performance in construction and foundation engineering. video rights : Brextor by BRC.swiss #piling #construction #geotechnical #pileheadbreaking #civilengineering #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil #civilengineer #technology #qualityengineer

🌊 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦! Note: Sea Impact's insights are based on independent analysis of AIS data. Sea Impact has not in any way been involved with the Thor project. A big congratulations to everyone involved at RWE and Jan De Nul Group with successfully completing the monopile installation scope at the Thor Offshore Wind Farm. In around 150 days, all 72 monopiles were installed using Les Alizés. Get the full insight here: https://lnkd.in/dNcKyYFu ⚙️ 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 Les Alizés completed the campaign with an average installation duration of 2.2 days per position, closely aligned with the industry median of 2.3 days for comparable scopes. This marks the vessel’s first monopile campaign using its new pile gripper, demonstrating performance on par with industry benchmarks. Extended transit due to far distance to the marshaling port and weather impact slightly prolonged the total campaign duration, meant the execution was slightly slower than the fastest campaigns seen in the industry. 🏗️ 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 The secondary steel installation was performed by MPI Adventure, following the growing industry trend of separating monopile and TP/secondary steel installation. This approach helps avoid slowdowns in monopile operations by allowing lighter tasks to be performed independently. The secondary steel scope progressed at a similar pace, averaging 2.3 days per position, including 1.3 days on-site. The project stands as a strong example of efficient collaboration and the evolving strategies shaping offshore foundation installation. #OffshoreWind #Installation #Foundations #RWE #JanDeNul #ThorWindFarm

Installing Filter Unit® Rockbags in Offshore Fields One of the key advantages of Filter Unit® Rockbags is their flexibility, they don’t require large vessels or heavy lifting equipment, making them ideal for installation even around live offshore platforms. 🎥 In this video, you can see the installation of Filter Unit® Rockbags at an offshore wind farm, protecting the cable infrastructure of an offshore substation. Here, multiple marine operations are taking place simultaneously, and installation can be carried out efficiently alongside other ongoing activities saving both time and cost. #OffshoreWind #MarineOperations #SubseaEngineering #FilterUnit #Rockbags #OffshoreConstruction #RenewableEnergy

For one of our major geothermal projects, our team optimized performance by combining geothermal learnings with unconventional drilling experience. Through collaboration with mud and bit vendors, precise BHA modeling, and wear-resistant motor designs, we cut days on well by over half — delivering faster, more efficient wells and greater value for the operator.

The Crossing Group utilized the skills and expertise of our four unique trenchless divisions to help deliver long-distance renewable energy from Canada to the New York Metro area. This infrastructure project, known as the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE), involved the installation of transmission lines through wetlands, waterways, ecosystems, and communities across New York State. Our crews completed multiple installations using a mix of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and tunneling technologies to pass safely through these environments with minimal disruptions. We're incredibly proud to see the combined efforts of The HDD Company, The Crossing Company, The Tunneling Company, and The Trenchless Company contribute to the efficiency and sustainability of this ambitious project!

Seabed scour presents a major risk to offshore wind infrastructure. Left unaddressed, it can compromise stability, increase maintenance costs, and shorten asset lifespans. Balmoral’s HexDefence® system provides a proven and reliable solution.   This award-winning, globally patented technology has been engineered to protect monopile and jacket foundations while reducing reliance on traditional rock-dumping. The interlocking concrete segments are lightweight yet durable, enabling swift installation either as full assemblies or retrofit half-rings. By reducing exposed cable sections by up to two-thirds, HexDefence limits fatigue and enhances long-term performance.   The result is smarter, safer, and greener offshore foundations, extending asset lifecycles while meeting the industry’s evolving environmental and cost-efficiency demands.

The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) is set to deliver 1,250 megawatts of renewable hydropower from Canada to New York City beginning in spring of 2026. The 339-mile alignment includes more than 300 #HDD crossings with some 420,000 ft of conduit installed. The final segment, crossing under the East River from Randall’s Island to Astoria, Queens, connects the DC transmission line to the Astoria Converter Station. Two parallel pilots were drilled; each lined with more than 5,100 ft of 20-inch steel conduit. The pilots were completed as dual-parallel intersects with ParaTrack providing guidance on all four HDD’s. ParaTrack is proud to have contributed guidance across all segments of CHPE - Trenchless Technology Magazine 2025 Project of the Year.
