Offshore Design Engineering (ODE) will deliver owner’s engineer support to the pre-front-end engineering design (FEED) stage for the 1500MW Outer Dowsing offshore wind farm in the UK.
The contract was awarded to ODE by Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind (ODOW), a joint venture of TotalEnergies and Corio Generation (part of Macquarie’s GIG).
When completed, Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind, in the southern North Sea, will be one of the largest offshore wind farms in the UK.
As owner’s engineer, ODE will conduct concept development and selection for elements such as turbine foundations, onshore and offshore substations, and array cables and will support the definition of the project’s employer’s requirements.
Andrew Baker, Managing Director of ODE, said: “We are looking forward to engaging as owner’s engineer on this project.
“This is a crucial time to deliver offshore wind capacity to the UK energy industry and we are pleased to be achieving this alongside Corio Generation and TotalEnergies, two companies who we have successfully executed energy contracts with in the past.”
David Few, Project Director for Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind, added: “We are delighted to have appointed ODE to this important role, bringing their extensive expertise to supplement that of Corio Generation and TotalEnergies, and push forward the project’s engineering strategy.”
