Fugro has secured a contract with Energinet for geotechnical site investigations for the North Sea I offshore wind development.
The Danish government plans to expand offshore wind capacity by 4GW by 2030, and the Geo-data acquired by Fugro will be used to inform future bids in the area. With fieldwork set to start in 2024, Fugro will mobilise multiple geotechnical vessels equipped with investigation tools such as the Seacalf Mk V Deepdrive system for seabed cone penetration tests and the Wison Mk V Ecodrive. The fieldwork is expected to continue well into 2025, with further processing, laboratory testing and reporting of results to follow.
