COLLEGE STATION, Texas – US Wind has contracted TDI-Brooks International to conduct seabed geophysical surveys offshore Maryland.
The results will be used to support development of the company’s proposed Maryland Offshore Wind project (MarWin).
TDI-Brooks will deploy its oceanographic research vessels Brooks McCall and Miss Emma McCall. Both are equipped to acquire geophysical surveys for offshore hazard/site clearance assessments, pipeline/cable routing, seafloor mapping, port and channel conditions, fisheries habitat mapping, and burial assessment studies.
Expert protected species observers will be aboard each vessel to monitor for the presence of protected species.
The company will also provide laboratory analysis on all sediment samples collected via its facility in College Station, Texas.
Located 17 mi (27 km) offshore, the 270-MW MarWin project is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
