Dong Energy has selected HiDef Aerial Surveying to undertake ultra high-resolution digital video aerial surveys at a new offshore wind farm site in the Irish Sea, known as the Isle of Man project.
The Isle of Man project requires consent from the Isle of Man government and, as part of that process, an Environmental Impact Assessment of the site needs to be made.
The survey will take up to two years and builds upon work that HiDef has already undertaken for Dong at the Burbo Bank Extension project, the Celtic Array Round 3 zone and the Northern Irish First Flight Wind project.
Dong’s Jeremy Martin said: “We are pleased to confirm that we have commissioned HiDef to work with us on the Isle of Man project, following a successful ongoing partnership at the Burbo Bank Extension.
“HiDef’s innovative approach and ability to deliver the right results was important in selecting them for this work.
“Their unique use of high-resolution video was important in giving the Isle of Man government the confidence that the data collected would be scientifically accurate and allow for a properly informed environmental assessment.”
HiDef commercial director Kit Hawkins said: “HiDef is delighted to have been selected by Dong Energy once again for this exciting project, especially given the Isle of Man project’s importance in delivering renewable energy post-2020.”
