Fugro has supported Ignitis Renewables with a geophysical seabed survey for the 700 MW offshore wind farm project at a site in the Baltic Sea in Lithuania.
This pivotal phase in the 700 MW project's progress aims to enhance comprehension of seabed conditions, providing crucial insights for the positioning, construction, and design of upcoming turbines in the Baltic Sea. Fugro's specialized geophysical survey vessel, Fugro Frontier, is currently conducting the study across a 120 sq km area. The vessel is gathering 2D ultra-ultra-high-resolution (UUHR) sub-surface data, along with bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and magnetometer data. The amassed 2000 survey line km of data will play a vital role in characterizing the site and identifying potential risks associated with offshore wind farm development in this region. These findings will guide the selection of future geotechnical investigations and contribute to the creation of a detailed ground model. Ignitis Renewables plans to use this model to determine the optimal design and locations for wind turbine foundations.
The offshore wind farm is anticipated to commence operations by the year 2030.
