ABPmer is supporting SSE Renewables in the development of Phase 2 of its Arklow Bank Wind Park project, off the east coast of Ireland. ABPmer has been commissioned to prepare a preliminary Site Condition Report and manage the associated metocean survey which will then be used in conjunction with new numerical modelling to refine the preliminary results and inform a final Site Condition Report.
The Site Condition Reports provide SSE Renewables with a wide range of metocean statistics, as well as a description of the seabed morphology, sediment transport patterns and a high-level assessment of scour potential. This will provide a basis for engineering design and operational planning, which will be further refined and validated from the early planning stages through to final design.
