2019, EGS, Burbo Bank, Bathymetric Survey

Ørsted Power contracted EGS international Ltd (EGSi) to undertake a bathymetric survey at Burbo Bank Wind Farm (BBW01) – all assets – in the Irish Sea. Data was acquired in September 2019. Operations were undertaken using a hull mounted dual head Kongsberg 2040C. The survey is designed to provide information needed primarily for the following: - Scour monitoring - Evaluate integrity of assets (WTG’s, cables and IAC’s) - To provide data from which any change to bedform morphology can be identified when compared to previous surveys (2006, 2012 and 2016) The surveys were conducted onboard the EGS owned coastal survey vessel ‘The Watchful’, which operated on a 12hr basis from Liverpool marina. Vessel mobilisation, calibrations and verifications began between 22nd and 23rd August 2019 whilst the vessel was in Liverpool and were then completed offshore 24th August. All survey operations were completed by 16th September 2019.
