Community Offshore Wind, a joint venture of RWE and National Grid Ventures, has announced an agreement with Fugro to conduct a geotechnical investigation of the project’s lease area in the New York Bight.
This next phase of site survey work will further prepare Community Offshore Wind’s lease area. The geotechnical investigation will build on previous geophysical surveying by taking seabed samples and testing ground conditions.
Community Offshore Wind’s lease area is 37 miles off the coast of New Jersey and 64 miles from the New York coast. The site investigation began in early June 2024 and will continue through the summer. Fugro plans to use two geotechnical vessels to collect sediment samples, which will launch from Bayonne, New Jersey.
