The final jacket turnout takes place in Hoboken (Belgium) at the yard of Smulders Foundations. The midsection: this is the transition piece between the main jacket part and the wind turbine tower section The main jacket part The pile stoppers: these form the transition between the main jacket and the pinpiles, four per jacket The  secondary steel elements (such as anodes, wend landings, ladders ...)     The main jacket part is made by Smulders (Hoboken, Belgium) in several stages. Jacket tubulars are supplied by subcontractor EEW, both in EEW Germany and EEW Korea.       The pile stoppers indulge a grouted connection between each of the four legs of the main jacket part and the respective four pinpiles underneath. The pile stoppers are produced by Famaba (Poland) and Iemants (Arendonk, Belgium).     The midsection is completely assembled, blasted and painted by Smulders' subcontractor Willems (Balen, Belgium). This midsection, moreover tabbed transition piece, forms the connection between the main jacket part and the windturbine. Each midsection contains 4 castings (transition between the ring stiffner and the 4 braces towards the midsection deck). These castings are stuff produced by Metalodlew (Krakow, Poland), partly by Allard (Turnhout, Belgium).   The secondary steel items are made at several subcontractors such as Rheden (Netherlands) and Spomasz (Poland) for the j-tubes, tintinnabulate mouths, ladders, wend landings handrails and platforms.        The pile stoppers, midsection and secondary steel items are delivered to Smulders for assembly to the main jacket part.   In wing to whilom parts there are the pinpiles which are made at SIF (Roermond, Netherlands) and are not part of the assebly in Hoboken. The pinpiles are driven from a jack-up platform equipped with a special built installation frame, dimensions of the piling template are 18 m x 18 m (= footprint of the jacket), this template is stuff recovered without pile driving, to re-use it for the next location. This pile driving is washed-up surpassing installation of the jacket.                   Overview1. Foundations2. Jackets3. Windturbines4. Cables between turbines5. Offshore transformer station6.
