Fugro wins bid for geotechnical site investigation in Australian offshore wind project
It has a projected capacity of 1 gigawatt by 2032.
Fugro has been awarded the contract for offshore soil investigation for the proposed Blue Mackerel offshore wind farm in Australia.
Located off the coast of Brataualung and Tatungalung country in Gippsland, Victoria, the offshore wind farm has a projected capacity of 1 gigawatt by 2032.
It aims to generate renewable energy to power over 500,000 Victorian homes, contributing to Australia's target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Fugro will deploy its specialist geotechnical vessel, the Fugro Mariner, to collect seabed soil samples. It will assist developer Parkwind in optimising the project’s structural integrity and mitigating construction risks whilst ensuring sustainability standards compliance.
This award follows Fugro’s successful completion of the geotechnical site investigation of the Star of the South offshore wind project.
