Wind Energy – Oriel Wind Farm
Fugro has been awarded a contract by Oriel Wind Farm to conduct a detailed geotechnical site investigation.
The study will inform the design and installation of foundations for 25 offshore wind turbines, supporting safe and efficient construction at the Oriel offshore wind farm.
Located off the coast of County Louth, the 375 MW project is planned to be among Ireland’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farms and is being jointly developed by JERA Nex bp and the Irish semi-state utility ESB.
Fugro’s winter geotechnical campaign is already underway following the mobilisation of the Fugro Voyager. Located in a technically demanding area of the Irish Sea, the Oriel site requires careful planning, experienced offshore delivery and proven seabed investigation technology to ensure safe and reliable data acquisition.
