The installation of the Openhydro tidal energy device test platform involved drilling 2 10m deep sockets into the sea-bed, positioning and grouting 2 37m long 1067mm dia. piles and then installing the tidal turbine and platform. The job was completed off 2 jack-up barges, the ‘Octopus’ and the ‘JB107’ in tidal stream conditions at EMEC and was the most cost effective installation of its type.
