The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) aims to publish a European tender for geotechnical investigations in the Nederwiek Wind Farm Zone sites II and III in March this year.
The contract is divided into 2 lots.
Lot 1 activities include
• Executing offshore seabed campaign including seabed Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) up to 60m below seafloor (bsf), including temperature cone penetration tests (TCPTs)
• Executing offshore vibrocores up to 6m bsf with associated laboratory testing.
Lot 2:
• Executing offshore borehole campaign including laboratory testing. The campaign consists of boreholes with target depth of 60-80 m bsf that could include sampling with associated laboratory testing (static and cyclic), MIC testing, in-situ PCPT and SCPT or PS logging testing.
The campaigns are planned for 2024 and the intention is to allow for an optional start (for lot 1) at the end of 2023. The deliverables will be published for use by the participants in the concession tenders for these offshore Wind Farm Sites.
