Monopiles waiting to be sunk into the seabed to support offshore wind turbines at Dong Energy's Walney Offshore wind farm.
The Walney Offshore Windfarm project is located 15km off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria. The project consists of Walney 1 and Walney 2 each with 51 turbines. When finished it will have 102 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The wind farm is owned and constructed by Dong Energy. This shot shows the massive monopiles that are hammered 30 metres into the seabed to anchor the wind turbine.
