Wind Energy – Seabed Survey
The first geotechnical seabed surveys for a proposed second phase to Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm have been completed.
The surveys, which were carried out at SSE Renewables’ Seagreen site, off the Angus coast, examined conditions, ahead of up to 36 new turbines being added to the 114 already fully operational.
Seagreen is Scotland’s largest and the world’s deepest fixed-bottom offshore wind farm, with the deepest foundation installed at a record depth of 58.6m below sea level.
The phase 2 project is known as Seagreen 1A.
