TAIPEI, Taiwan – Fugro IOVTEC Co. Ltd. has received a geotechnical contract for the Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3 offshore wind farms.
This is the company’s third geotechnical site investigation project in Taiwan this year.
The project will follow Fugro’s “Triple A” approach of acquiring, analyzing, and advising on Geo-data. It is expected to take about 10 months to complete.
The Hai Long offshore wind farms are being co-developed by Northland Power Inc, Yushan Energy, and Mitsui & Co.
Fugro IOVTEC will acquire Geo-data at 32 wind turbine locations and the site investigation will be carried out in two phases: seabed and downhole. The seabed phase will be performed using Fugro’s SEACALF continuous drive system. The geotechnical drilling vessel Fugro Voyager will be deployed for the downhole phase.
Felipe Montero, EPCI Director of Hai Long Offshore Wind Project, said: “This collaboration with Fugro IOVTEC allows us to continue and increase our engagement with Taiwanese suppliers, underlining our commitment to cultivating the development of the local supply chain and helping fulfil Taiwan’s ambitious plans for deploying offshore wind.”
