NEWS IN BRIEF Fugro’s geo-data supports future Fugro’s development of Hornsea offshore wind farms
Ørsted has awarded Fugro a marine geotechnical site investigation contract for its Hornsea Three and Hornsea Four offshore wind farm developments. With operations set to run from May to August 2022, Fugro will be mobilising multiple vessels to combat challenging ground conditions and deliver large volumes of geo-data within the required project schedule. The detailed site investigations include, downhole cone penetration testing (CPT), seismic cone penetration testing (SCPT), downhole sampling and high-quality rock coring as well as borehole geophysical logging. This will not only enable reliable and efficient foundation designs, but also help derisk the project’s future developmental phases.
Joining forces to create an allelectric gangway Safeway and sister company Techano have signed a corporation agreement with Intellilift to equip the SOVs for the future. Under the agreement, Intellilift will be a preferred supplier of their proprietary technology related to power systems, automation and remote-control systems. The package system includes an all-electric version of Safeway’s original Gannet 3D motion compensated gangway, elevator and 3D crane. The package may be extended with other products such as davits and winches. The collaboration will accelerate the development and supply of a fully electrical and automated system, supporting the industrial green shift. i. safewaygangway.com
