Benefits

01 Stay on schedule

Our insights reduce the need for expensive, time-consuming investigations at your site. Helping you stay on schedule.

02 Remote technology

The fewer people work offshore, the smaller the risk. That’s why we use remote and autonomous technologies to give you accurate insights into hazards.

03 Tailored approach

No two sites are alike. That’s why we tailor our approach based on your site. Choosing the most suitable, sustainable, and safest solutions for your specific site needs.

Case study

First sea Auk mission powers through TenneT UXO clearance

Wind farms offshore transmit green energy by way of power cables along the seabed. But to lay them, you need to make sure that the seabed is cleared of all objects, including UXO. We devised efficient clearance solutions: our WaveWalker 1 dynamic jack-up platform and our Sea Auk® shallow water UXO identification and clearance tool.

Case study

Completing the US’ first-ever offshore wind pUXO identification survey

Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) demonstration project was the first wind farm installation in US federal waters to undertake a potential unexploded ordnance (pUXO) identification survey. The project developer, Ørsted, relied on Fugro’s global marine UXO expertise to identify and clear hazards before construction.
