Consultancy Partrac has been awarded a marine monitoring support services contract for the Able Marine Energy Park on the Humber estuary.
The contract consists of the supply, deployment and maintenance of monitoring equipment, and the delivery of water quality data through baseline, construction and post-construction phases of the development.
Partrac will transmit water quality data – turbidity, dissolved oxygen and temperature – in real time to a secure operational project website.
The data will be used to assess the magnitude and variability of marine parameters during the three phases.
Partrac technical director Kevin Black said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the water quality monitoring contract for Able; this extends and builds upon our experience of delivering compliance dredge monitoring services across several major domestic infrastructure projects, including London Gateway and Liverpool2 Deep Water Terminal port developments.”
The £450m, 900-acre AMEP is designed to offer port facilities for the renewable energy sector, particularly offshore wind.
