Leask Marine announced that the company has recently completed a major offshore decommissioning project in France, on behalf of Hydroquest, to remove their 1 MW turbine from their test site off Paimpol-Bréhat, in Brittany, France.

Offshore decommissioning project

The offshore decommissioning project entailed project management, engineering, and marine operations, with the engagement of the North Sea Atlantic vessel.

In association with Tadek Ltd, the decommissioning & recovery procedures were developed, with all appropriate HAZOP, risk assessments, and emergency response plans.

The turbine lift, together with the foundation & ballast lifts were managed on site by Leask Marine personnel, with a total of 1500 tons of hardware recovered to surface and offloaded to quayside. The whole project was successfully delivered, in a very tight operational weather window.
