ARB Wind has been awarded a significant contract by Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind.
ARB Wind is a specialist in providing asset integrity services to the UK’s wind energy sector,
This contract, which covers the balance of plant, inspection and maintenance, and above-water foundation inspections, comes as the NnG Offshore Wind Farm, commenced operation in July.
Located approximately 15.5 km off the coast of Eyemouth, the wind farm comprises 54 wind turbine generators and two offshore substation platforms.
ARB Wind will provide dedicated technicians to deliver a wide range of services across NnG’s offshore and onshore assets. These include the foundations, the two offshore substation platforms, the onshore substation in East Lothian, the operations and maintenance facility in Eyemouth, and the storage facilities in Rosyth and Blyth.
The above-water foundation inspections include both baseline and scheduled inspections, which are designed to ensure the continued integrity of the foundations. The inspections will comprise an initial phase of remote visual inspection conducted via UAVs, which will inform and support the scope of subsequent on-asset inspections.
