Global provider of engineering and technology-centric professional services Lloyd’s Register has used its expertise from subsidiary SGC Engineering to support Dong Energy in the evaluation of the Bay State project, with its offshore site and export cable route geophysical and hydrographic surveys.
Dong Energy's official Malgorzata Zorawinska said: “The offshore wind energy industry is less mature in the US than in Europe and our focus is very much on being smarter from the start.
“As the global leader in its field, Dong Energy can apply significant experience, knowledge, and lessons learned through its own in-house expertise and with trusted partners such as Lloyd’s Register.”
Being a critical part of the early windfarm construction phases, route surveys help assess the narrow seabed corridor that contains export cables used to supply power onshore from the facility.
