Subsea specialist Modus Seabed Intervention has been contracted by Dong Energy to survey and dispose of unexploded ordnance (UXO) at the 256MW Burbo Bank offshore wind farm extension 7km off the UK coast near Liverpool.
The work will involve an initial investigation survey of known ferromagnetic UXO targets to identify any explosive ordnance within the site.
This will be followed, if required, by an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operation to dispose of any dangerous UXO.
Modus will work with partners N-Sea and Ramora on the project, which will use the DPII DSV Noordhoek Pathfinder, equipped with Modus CSROV, as well as N-Sea’s Aberlour to support diving operations.
Modus commercial director Nigel Ward, said: “This is a major contract to have secured and we are delighted to be working with Dong Energy, and we look forward to completing another safe and efficient service with our key subcontractors.”
