176 turbines producing electricity for up to 660,000 households: a superlative offshore wind farm is being built off the east coast of the U.S. Using the Direct Pipe method, three AVN machines from #Herrenknecht drove a total of nine pipelines for power cables under the coast off Virginia Beach. Overall, the project was being carried out in three phases: since January 2024, three Herrenknecht AVN machines with a diameter of 1,110 mm have been in operation on the coast of Virginia. Each of them is to install three pipelines, around 550 meters long from the launch shaft behind the dunes to below the seabed off the coast. The first three pipelines were completed in mid-March 2024. This was followed by the dismantling of the jobsite, military maneuvers, and then setting up the jobsite again. In May 2024, the go-ahead was given for construction of a further six pipelines. From 2026, according to the plans, the electricity generated by a wind farm far off the coast of Virginia Beach will flow through the nine pipes. Congratulations to the Michels Trenchless, Inc. and Herrenknecht teams for taking up this extra "logistics" challenge of dismantling before starting again! Great job!! #pionneeringundergroundtogether
