Case study

The world's largest offshore wind farm

Fugro was involved at all stages of the development of a flagship renewable energy project which was officially inaugurated in July 2013.

Case study

Ensuring the first offshore wind farm in the US is structurally sound

Block Island Wind Farm is the first offshore wind farm in the US. As such, it played a vital, pioneering role in showing the economic feasibility of renewable offshore energy. Our pile-drivability analysis and monitoring activities helped ensure its long-term success.

Case study

The first-ever pUXO identification survey in a United States wind farm

For the very first wind farm installation in the US to ever undertake a potential unexploded ordnance (pUXO) identification survey, we used our global marine UXO expertise to identify hazards. And clear them. Before construction even started.
