SeaRoc, part of the Natural Power group, has been selected to manage the supply, installation and commissioning of two lattice meteorological towers in accordance with a specification provided by Forewind – the consortium responsible for developing UK Round 3 offshore wind farm site Dogger Bank.
The announcement is part of a wider offering by Fred Olsen United AS to supply Forewind with the innovative suction bucket foundation designed by Universal Foundation A/S, and fabricated by Belfast shipyard Harland and Wolff, both of which are Fred.Olsen related companies. The foundation design was identified as part of the Carbon Trust’s collaborative Offshore Wind Accelerator programme. SeaRoc will provide both design and third party approvals for the mast and manage all procurement and fabrication. The marine engineering company will then manage logistics and transportation, installation at the platform and commissioning of equipment on and offshore. A key part of the project will also be the management of all Health & Safety Requirements in relation to the masts and SeaRoc will provide this from the Consultancy part of the business.
