Fugro UST21 has completed offshore geotechnical site investigations for Orsted’s Incheon offshore wind project, located about 70km off the coast of Incheon, South Korea.
The 1.4GW Incheon project is set to become the country’s largest offshore wind farm and will play a key role in Korea’s transition to net zero by 2050.
Fugro’s Geo-data will support the design of foundations and cable routes across the entire development area, with services including seabed cone penetration testing, downhole sampling, pressure metre testing, and laboratory analysis.
Robert Shapcott, general manager of Fugro UST21, said: “We are proud to support Orsted in launching South Korea’s largest offshore wind project. Our work will provide the critical Geo-data needed to inform safe and efficient foundation design, helping Orsted deliver on its sustainability commitments and local economic development goals.”
Orsted site investigation project manager Kasper Mortensen said: “We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Fugro for their exceptional contribution to the Incheon offshore wind project. Their technical expertise and dedication to safety and quality, and careful consideration of all stakeholders, have played a vital role in the success of this campaign. We truly value their expertise and the professionalism they brought to the project.”
The investigations, completed in early August 2025, form part of Fugro’s ongoing collaboration with Ørsted to deliver high-quality Geo-data for major offshore wind projects across Asia.
