Wind Energy – Floating Wind
TGS, a provider of energy data and intelligence, has commenced a geophysical survey for the pioneering Green Volt floating offshore wind farm.
Mobilization initiated in Aberdeen last week, and the work, scheduled throughout June, will include an ultra-high resolution 3D (UHR3D) seismic survey used to deliver detailed subsurface data for the floating wind farm’s site characterization.
The Green Volt project is a joint venture between leading offshore wind developers Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn.
As Europe’s first commercial-scale floating windfarm at 560 MW, the project is a catalyst for developing a highly specialized UK floating wind supply chain.
Utilizing integrated Multibeam Echo Sounder, Side Scan Sonar, Sub-bottom Profiler and Magnetometer sensors, the advanced survey will enhance geological understanding and provide critical insights for the project’s site planning and risk assessments.
