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.
Case study
Superior data in UXO survey of important Paris site
When the French Ministry of Defence identified a location for the new command centre for its army, one of the first requirements was an unexploded ordnance safety diagnosis. Historical studies of the site in Paris suggested the possibility of unexploded bombs following allied forces bombardments in 1943.
