Offshore Geotechnical Surveys

Tender description

Lot 1: The Contracting Entity intends to establish a Qualification System to procure the scope of services pertaining to offshore geotechnical surveys for the development of its offshore wind farm (OWF) project(s) in Ireland and the UK. The scope of services pertaining to the geotechnical surveys are intended to provide sufficient geotechnical data to allow the characterisation of the sub-seabed strata in order to refine a three-dimensional soils model of the offshore windfarm site. These details will be used to initiate the design of the WTG and sub-station foundations and to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the installation methodology. The output from the survey will directly support the subsequent Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) activities for the OWF site. The qualification system may include projects developed by ESB, ESB Joint Venture companies (existing or yet to be formed), ESB subsidiary companies or companies ESB Group has a minority interest in.
