SLPE was awarded a contract to carry out detailed structural and geotechnical foundation design for the HVDC offshore substation jackets serving the Centre Manche 1 and Centre Manche 2 offshore grid connections. Working for RTE via Chantiers de l’Atlantique, SLPE will undertake a comprehensive 2.5‑year design phase for jacket structures of around 7,000 tonnes each to support 1.25 GW HVDC converter platforms ahead of jacket fabrication by Smulders and Eiffage Métal from 2026 and planned installation at the Centre Manche 1 site in 2029.
