Blue Gem Wind, the joint venture between TotalEnergies, and Simply Blue Group, has completed its detailed geotechnical campaign for the 100MW Erebus Test & Demonstration Project.
The surveys, led by Fugro, included acquisition of sub-seabed data using borehole, vibrocore and cone penetration test techniques utilising Fugro Scout for the offshore scope and the Aran 120 jack-up barge for the nearshore locations. The samples will now undergo laboratory testing and analysis and the data used to inform detailed design for offshore cables and anchoring as well as further preparation for the construction phase.
