Ecosse Subsea Systems (ESS) has finished a major project in Yorkshire for a northern European energy giant.
ESS completed a boulder clearance and seabed preparation campaign for Dong Energy at the Westermost Rough wind farm, eight miles off Yorkshire coast.
The Aberdeenshire based firm deployed its SCAR seabed plough to tackle the operation on 33 routes between wind turbines and the offshore sun station.
Mike Wilson, ESS managing director, said: “The workscope covered multi-pass boulder clearing on up to 33 routes, covering an area of 720,000 sq metres and involved complex seabed navigation with ROV back-up to ensure pinpoint accuracy between passes.
“Our SCAR plough is now well-established as preferred tool by leading oil, gas and renewables companies and its credentials as a safe, economic and reliable seabed clearance solution has caught the attention of many of the major operators.”
The Westermost campaign was ESS’s third seabed clearance contract in the renewable sector after the Baltic 2 and Humber Gateway projects.
