Surveying marine growth on offshore wind turbine foundations in the North Sea
- Category: Projects and Contracts
Bluestream has worked with Wageningen Marine Research (WMR) to develop a remotely controlled Marine Growth Sampling Tool to survey marine growth on offshore wind turbine foundations in the North Sea. In the early stages of colonisation, algae and small sea creatures attach to the foundation surface, with numbers increasing over time. Such surveys were previously carried out by SCUBA divers. Vattenfall provided access to one of the Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm foundations for the study. The foundation became available after the Julietta D vessel collided with it during a storm in January 2022, rendering it unusable for turbine installation. While the turbine was removed, the foundation was left in place.
