The program will be completed in three parts divided over the coming 3 years and comprises geotechnical investigations for offshore wind farm development areas in the German sector of the North Sea. 

Fugro’s site characterization services will consist of geotechnical data acquisition from multiple geotechnical drilling and seabed testing vessels, followed by laboratory testing and reporting by its German and UK laboratories. This multi-year contract has a significant value.   

Fugro is currently mobilising for the first phase with a target start date of the end of May, beginning with seabed cone penetration testing (CPT) using its Seacalf Mk V DeepDrive system. 

This will be followed by the drilling of the boreholes with downhole CPT testing, sampling and geophysical logging from dedicated geotechnical vessels. The laboratory testing results will be used by future wind farm developers to prepare their bids.
