Fugro has signed a letter of intent to optimize and perform a site characterization program for an offshore wind development on the US East Coast.

The program is focused on accelerating the construction and operations permitting process and represent Fugro’s latest work on the US East Coast.

Fieldwork will begin in the second quarter of 2023 and involves collection of geophysical and geotechnical datasets. Supporting site planning and engineering design, the developing ground model will be made available to project owners in near real-time to facilitate faster decision-making by project engineers and improved collaboration with stakeholders, including regulatory agencies.

This project was not yet included in the 12-months backlog as per September 2022 (Fugro’s latest published results).
