Fugro Secures a Major Geotechnical Site Investigation Contract for Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan

Fugro Secures a Major Geotechnical Site Investigation Contract for Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan

Fugro has secured a major contract from Shinfox Energy to provide geotechnical services for the 700 MW Youde offshore wind farm, part of Taiwan's Round 3.2 offshore wind tender. This project, situated off the west coast of Taiwan, aims to enhance the region's renewable energy capacity. The contract underscores Fugro's role in supporting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure in Taiwan, reflecting the country's commitment to expanding its offshore wind capabilities. The collaboration is expected to facilitate the project's progress and contribute to Taiwan's energy transition efforts.

Fugro Geotechnical Survey to Support Berwick Bank B Offshore Wind Farm

Fugro Geotechnical Survey to Support Berwick Bank B Offshore Wind Farm

Fugro has secured a significant geotechnical survey contract from SSE for the Berwick Bank B phase of the ambitious Berwick Bank offshore wind project located in the North Sea. This phase is part of a broader initiative aimed at achieving a total offshore wind capacity of 4.1 GW across three phases. If fully realized, Berwick Bank has the potential to become the largest offshore wind farm globally, generating sufficient clean electricity to supply over six million homes in the UK each year. The project underscores the growing commitment to renewable energy and the transition towards sustainable power sources.

Fugro Awarded Geotechnical Survey Contract for TotalEnergies’ NSE 1 Offshore Wind Farm Development

Fugro has secured a contract to conduct extensive geotechnical surveys for the NordSee Energies 1 offshore wind farm, a significant renewable energy initiative spearheaded by TotalEnergies. The project is located at the North Sea N-12.1 site. Scheduled to begin shortly, these investigations aim to gather critical data on seabed conditions at the designated locations for wind turbines and inter-array cable routes. This information is vital for ensuring the safe and efficient design of the turbine foundations, thereby supporting the overall success of the wind farm development.

Fugro UST21 Completes Geotechnical Work for Ørsted on South Korea’s Largest Offshore Wind Project

Fugro UST21 Completes Geotechnical Work for Ørsted on South Korea’s Largest Offshore Wind Project

Fugro UST21 has successfully concluded offshore geotechnical site investigations for Ørsted’s ambitious 1.4 GW Incheon offshore wind project, which took place in early August 2025. Situated around 70 kilometers off the coast of Incheon, South Korea, this initiative is poised to become the largest offshore wind farm in the nation. The project is a crucial component of South Korea's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, reflecting the country's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. The investigations conducted by Fugro are essential for assessing the seabed conditions and ensuring the project's viability, thereby contributing to the broader goal of transitioning to renewable energy sources.
