Dutch firm Fugro has secured the geophysical survey contract for the event of the Doordewind offshore wind farm zone within the Netherlands.
The Doordewind undertaking, led by the Netherlands Enterprise Company (RVO), is a part of the Dutch Authorities’s Offshore Wind Vitality Roadmap 2030, which goals to speed up the event of offshore wind within the Netherlands.
The survey work is scheduled to begin in April 2024 and shall be performed with Fugro’s geophysical vessel Fugro Pioneer.
Onboard are personalized digital streamers and processing know-how that allow 2D ultra-ultra-high decision (UUHR) surveys.
Utilizing proprietary software program and decimeter accuracy positioning techniques, this superior information acquisition technique allows detailed floor modelling and interpretation of close to floor geology to tell future geotechnical investigations and the design of offshore wind farms.
The information will even be used for planning geotechnical investigations and design of the offshore wind farm and installations, in response to Fugro.
“One in all Fugro’s key goals is to assist governments worldwide with the power transition. So, we’re extraordinarily proud to be a part of this prestigious offshore wind undertaking and supporting the Dutch authorities in realizing its ambitions,” mentioned Sven Plasman, Fugro’s Mission Director and Authorities Relationship Supervisor.
The Doordewind wind farm zone is situated roughly 77 kilometers off the north coast of the Netherlands and would be the first wind farm to hook up with the Eemshaven.
The overall wind farm space is roughly 580 km2 and is deliberate to include a complete capability of 4 GW divided over two websites of two GW every.
