The monopile, placed at a depth of 23.2 metres using the heavy-lift vessel Stanislav Yudin, was the first of 160 that will be installed at the wind farm off the coast of North Wales in Liverpool Bay.
Gwynt y Môr project director Toby Edmonds says the monopile installation “marks a next crucial stage of the two year construction period of this flagship wind farm” which began with the application of scour protection in January.
Gwynt y Môr is one of the largest offshore wind farms currently under construction in Europe.
