Geotechnical work completed for Ørsted’s 1.4 GW Incheon offshore wind project

The wind farm will play a critical role in South Korea’s 2050 emissions goal.

Offshore geotechnical site investigations have been completed for Ørsted’s 1.4 gigawatt Incheon offshore wind project.

According to Fugro UST21, the geo-data will support the design of foundations and cable routes across the whole development area of the Incheon offshore wind project. The work covers a comprehensive scope of marine geotechnical services, including seabed cone penetration testing, downhole sampling, pressure metre testing, and laboratory analysis.

The Incheon wind farm is located approximately 70 kilometres off the coast of Incheon, South Korea. It is set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the country and plays a pivotal role in Korea’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.
