Furgo secures site investigation contract for CrossWind's 759 MW Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind project
The CrossWind consortium, a joint venture between Shell in the Netherlands and Eneco, has awarded Fugro a contract to deliver comprehensive geotechnical site investigation solutions to support the development of the Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind farm, located 18.5 km off the Dutch coast near the town of Egmond aan Zee.
The site investigation solutions will comprise an unexploded ordnance (UXO) site clearance survey followed by a seabed cone penetration test (CPT) investigation. After clearing the sites with the Fugro vessel Atlantis Dweller, Fugro will mobilize their seabed SEACALF® Mk V DeepDrive CPT system for the fieldwork, which is scheduled to begin in August and expected to be complete by the end of September.
The SEACALF acquires high-quality data over the full foundation depth of wind turbines and has already been successfully deployed on a series of North Sea projects.
The Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind project is expected to be operational by 2023 with an installed capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3.3 TWh per year.
