Rockmat, the foundation for rocky seabed - offshore wind energy, current and tidal turbine


ROCKMAT is an innovative and patented concept of offshore wind foundations adapted to rocky or uneven seabeds.

With no site preparation or drilling, ROCKMAT is a lower cost solution that can be implemented using only the local industry and at no cost to the marine environment.
ROCKMAT is a self-floating foundation, lowered by hydrodynamic ballast. Accurate leveling is achieved by a system of underwater jacks. Concrete is injected in flexible cofferdams bags to fill in seabed irregularities of 1 meter, eliminating the need for site preparation.
