Abstract:
The development of wind farms offshore France has entered into an active phase. This paper makes a brief review of ongoing projects and outlines the main features of the market by end 2018. Considering the absence of national normative documents, the CFMS has set up in 2013 a Working Group aimed at elaborating “Recommendations for planning and designing offshore wind turbine foundations”. The framework of this document presented on December 06, 2018 to the French geotechnical community is outlined and its specificities are highlighted. A particular attention is paid to the peculiar conditions of the soils and rocks encountered on the French continental shelf and to the design of drilled and grouted piles which is poorly addressed in the international codes in use in the offshore industry. In the afternoon of the 06th December, the focus was put on three major R & D projects: PISA, ALPACA and SOLCYP+.
