Foundation installation for the Gode Wind 1 offshore wind farm was completed by 16 September 2015 as part of the combined Gode Wind 1 and 2 construction programme. DONG Energy reported that the last of 97 monopile foundations and their transition pieces had been installed across the two projects, achieving this milestone ahead of schedule. The five‑month offshore campaign used noise mitigation measures mandated by German authorities, including a noise mitigation steel sleeve and a big bubble curtain to limit underwater sound during piling. Completion of the monopile and transition piece installation provided the structural bases for the 55 Siemens 6 MW turbines at Gode Wind 1 and the 42 turbines at Gode Wind 2, enabling subsequent turbine erection and electrical works.
