General – Re-appointment
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, has been re-appointed by transmission system operator TenneT to provide long-term client representation services in support of North Sea offshore wind grid connections.
The European energy transition is a significant challenge, and its goal is to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
Intertek Metoc has been appointed for the full framework contract scope that includes specialist client representation for maritime surveys, transport & installation (T&I) and technical inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) work on offshore platform structures and subsea cable installation and repair activities. The surveys include geophysical and geotechnical cable route surveys, UXO surveys and identification and clearance operations, subsea cable depth measurements, erosion studies, and geotechnical exploration drilling.
Dr. Andrew Page, Intertek Metoc Head of Site Characterisation and Engineering, commented: “We are delighted to have been selected by TenneT to continue our long-term relationship providing expert assurance services for critical North Sea offshore wind connections. It is exciting to be working on critical projects such as these and contributing our expertise to support the acceleration of energy transition efforts in the region.”
