ALARP certification

Frequently, the jack-up vessels that constructed our wind farms are unavailable to revisit the same site to perform repairs such as blade or gearbox replacements. Due to the advancements in heavy-lift vessel designs and their constantly changing footprint, it is highly probable that at some point it will be necessary to access the originally surveyed area to locate the jack-up spud cans and ensure there is no risk of potential unexploded ordnance (UXO) before placing them on the seabed.

We are specialists in deploying survey solutions to extend the grid around wind turbine generator locations. By utilising unmanned surface vessels equipped with state-of-the-art multibeam and sub-bottom profiling technology, as well as a range of towed magnetometers, we gather the necessary datasets for our geophysicists and UXO consultants to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the site being revisited.

Our highly detailed surveys ensure that UXO risks across the area in question are reduced in conformity with the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle, enabling the timely delivery of UXO ALARP certification.
