The project is now said to be spade-ready, having received content for the offshore array in July 2013 and the offshore electrical system in September 2016.
Early this month, Vattenfall selected OWS to provide leg penetration pile driveability analyses for various jack-up vessels and pile geometries for its development projects.
In February, OWC completed a contract for ScottishPower Renewables that included site investigation, preliminary foundation analysis, risk appraisal and turbine layout assessment. The contract was for ScottishPower Renewables’ East Anglia Three offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 1.2GW.
