LEIDSCHENDAM, the Netherlands – Energinet has contracted Fugro to perform marine site characterization for the Danish Energy Island project in the North Sea.
The island, 80 km (50 mi) from the Danish coast, will serve as a transmission center for hundreds of nearby offshore wind turbines.
Fugro will conduct geophysical and unexploded ordnance (UXO) magnetometry surveys, with results used for an integrated geological and geotechnical soil model on which wind farm developers will base their future tenders.
The two-phase field program will take place from May to November and then resume in February and March 2022.
Phase 1 will deliver the geophysical surveys, including seabed sampling and soil data down to at least 100 m (328 ft) below the sea bed; for Phase 2, the UXO magnetometry survey, Fugro will deploy its Geowing solution.
The company’s survey and offshore wind consultancy teams will use the geo-data to provide a de-risked site interpretation.
