Taking services to the next level of the development process, Fugro GEOS is actively supporting the construction and installation of Round 2 wind farms through advances in buoy based delivery of real-time metocean parameters. Fugro GEOS has been supporting the installation of wind turbines at the Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm since April 2010 and will continue to support the works for a further 18 months.
Seawatch midi buoys, which are designed to support nearshore construction, have been deployed to collect wave, temperature, salinity and current measurements. The data is being transmitted from two buoys, in real-time, to the construction vessels operating at the site location, to assist with safer working limits and providing accurate site-specific data for use in the assessment of potential operational loss due to weather downtime.
