Our Expertise
Fugro has extensive, in-the-field experience, providing detailed
analyses of the seabed and accurate assessments of year-round
operational conditions for offshore windfarm sites. We have worked
as active partners in the design and installation of foundations and
infrastructure on numerous projects around the world. This has
enhanced our clients understanding of the geological and geotechnical
risks associated with each project and facilitated the decision-making
process from initial concepts to detailed design. We have then provided
dedicated vessels, jack-up platforms and equipment that is purpose-
built to operate in the offshore environment, supporting the safe
installation and cost-effective operation of facilities.
The location, foundation design, cabling and
installation of offshore wind farms require specialist
knowledge, skilled people, fit-for-purpose vessels and
dedicated equipment able to operate in challenging
environments. Fugro provides a complete life-of-
project suite of services, delivering safe, efficient and
successful offshore renewable energy facilities around
the world. Our input starts at the feasibility stage and
runs right through to the eventual decommissioning of
infrastructure.
The Benefits of Working with Fugro
Fugros extensive knowledge of the marine environment, along with
its resources and technical expertise, yield substantial cost and safety
benefits. Accurate, reliable data support the decision-making process,
remove uncertainty in the design, development and installation of
facilities and ensure their long-term, safe operational performance.
By understanding the critical factors in establishing correct technical
solutions and integrating services and solutions with a single point
of responsibility, we can add measurable value at each stage of
your project.

Feasibility Studies &
Site Investigation
Fugro gathers known information, and
acquires, processes and interprets new
geological, geophysical and geotechnical data
to assist in assessing the suitability of offshore
sites for wind farms and their infrastructure.
Fugros services in this regard include:
Initial desktop studies and site visits
Local and regional metocean
measurements
Atmospheric modeling to support
resource assessment
Metocean desk studies to highlight local
characteristics using existing data
and models
Geophysical and hydrographic surveys to
ascertain seabed bathymetry, morphology,
classification, marine habitats and
sub-seabed layers
Ground risk assessments and potential
geohazard analysis
Preliminary geotechnical surveys
Regional activity studies, such as fishing,
bird and shipping surveys
Known man-made structures, potential
obstructions and Unexploded Ordnance
(UXO)
Environmental sampling and testing
Baseline noise measurements
A site-specific soil model, that
integrates all known factors
Terrestrial surveys to support landfall
site assessment
