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 development of the Hollandse Kust (noord) offshore wind farm. 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 mobilise their seabed SEACALF® Mk V DeepDrive CPT system for the fieldwork, which is scheduled to begin in August 2020 and should complete by the end of September 2020. The SEACALFacquires 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 CrossWind consortium plans to have Hollandse Kust (noord) operational by 2023 with an installed capacity of 759 MW, generating at least 3 300 000 MWh per year. The wind farm will be located 18.5 km off the Dutch coast near the town of Egmond aan Zee.
