COWI has been awarded a contract for foundation design for the 1300MW Irish offshore wind farm Codling Wind Park.
The engineering outfit will carry out a front end engineering design (FEED) and detailed design of foundations.
This significant milestone marks a crucial step forward in the development of Ireland’s largest phase
Codling is situated south-east of Dublin in the Irish Sea.
The project secured its grid connection agreement in 2022 and was successful in Ireland’s first Offshore Renewable Energy Support Scheme (ORESS) in 2023.
The agreement means COWI will undertake the design of wind turbine generator foundations, associated components, and offshore substation foundations.
Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) Director for Codling Wind Park, Anthony Michelin, said: “We are pleased to be working with COWI on the foundation design.
“Following on from our successful Site Investigation campaign last summer, this is another key milestone in our progress towards project delivery.
“We look forward to collaborating with COWI to mature the foundation design in support of our ongoing Tier 1 tendering, and beyond to FID.”
Damian McGirr, Senior Market Director, COWI in the UK, said: “We welcome the opportunity to work on this fantastic wind farm project and collaborate with partners Codling Wind Park.
“We are extremely proud to be part of the green transition and support the Irish market in meeting their 2030 targets through the generation of renewable energy.”
