Informations supplémentaires:
The heavy-lift jack-up vessel Odin, comissioned by Hochtief. at Ramsgate Harbour to support offshore wind farm construction. HOCHTIEF Solutions operates its own special-purpose equipment for the offshore business, employing its own crew for the purpose. This includes jack-up platform "Odin, " in service since 2004. The 40 by 70 meter platform "Thor" is one of the largest jack-up platforms for the installation of wind power plants at sea. As if that weren't enough: It is also a high-performance device for additional major projects offshore, such as pile foundations for large bridges. With its jack-up platform Odin, HOCHTIEF is bracing itself for major maritime projects worldwide. For instance, we have carried out soil investigations and installed offshore foundations for building state-of-theart wind farms far from the coast. Our maintenance work ensures that the wind farms can operate continuously. The technical capacity of HOCHTIEF’s jack-up platform Odin, named after the Nordic Father God, is illustrated best during the tough offshore works: we built the first German offshore transformer station where the sea had a depth of more than 30 meters. Odin was also used when the pile foundations were laid for the tripods for the wind energy plants off Borkum. In Bremerhaven, where we expanded the container terminal as an international freight trade hub, a highly efficient jack-up platform was also indispensable. A big challenge in building the world’s longest quay wall was anchoring the sheet-pile walls. These walls consist of panels which weigh up to 30 tons. HOCHTIEF thus lays the groundwork for the development of new technologies and markets in the field of marine works.
