Faced with future climatic and demographic challenges, the development of renewable energies is essential to face environmental challenges. The Public Works (TP) profession is involved in innovation in the construction of production works (power plants, wind farms) and transport (technical galleries, underground and overhead networks), in conjunction with laboratories and universities. This project focuses on the behavior of wind turbine foundations in the Land Sea Continuum zone and associated pathologies. This project constitutes a springboard towards the emergence of a Norman research center in civil engineering applied to renewable energies, and bringing together the University of Le Havre Normandy / INSA Rouen Normandie / ESITC Caen, associated with the CEREMA Normandie Center, which constitutes on a national and territorial level, a center of technical and scientific resources and expertise. International collaboration with the INCT-Infra laboratory; from the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), Brazil, which is carrying out research on a wind farm in the province of Ceará, will make it possible to benefit from feedback from wind farms in coastal areas where the subsoil, subject to water level fluctuations, is the origin of certain pathologies. This research center will work in close collaboration with industrialists in the wind power sector such as Énergie TEAM, (or even Quadrant Energy depending on the characteristics of the soil on the sites) with the provision of a wind farm site for instrumentation and in situ experimentation, particularly in Normandy. This project therefore constitutes a springboard towards the emergence of a Norman research center with a view to responding to European and international calls for projects and will promote international collaboration while allowing strong socio-economic development.
