Rovco has been awarded a contract to carry out work on the Beatrice offshore wind farm, off Scotland, for the third year running.
Commencing this month, the project will be delivered by Rovco’s UK-based team and will involve survey work on all inter-array cable and subsea jacket locations across Beatrice.
The survey work provides a focused approach to the monitoring and reporting of asset and critical infrastructure conditions year-on-year, delivering vital insights that enable the planning of potential preventative maintenance and remedial works.
The Rovco team will use the Glomar Worker DP2 vessel, equipped as standard with a work-class ROV, SubSLAM X2 and associated survey tooling suite, along with PanGeo Subsea’s 3D Sub-Bottom Imager to perform cable depth of burial assessments.
The delivery of the project, managed from Rovco’s operational base in Scotland, will support further full-time employment opportunities across the local region.
Rovco managing director Simon Miller said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded the year three scope of work for Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm Ltd, under this prestigious framework agreement.
“Crucially, our offshore setup and technology selection enables us to operate whilst the wind farm is still operational and producing energy.
“In addition to our own team of experts, we are pleased to be leveraging local supply chain partners and talent, ensuring the successful, safe and timely completion of the work on Beatrice.”
Matthew Henderson, subsea and structural engineering manager of Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, said: “We are delighted to have Rovco back on site again to continue their long-running relationship with the Beatrice Wind Farm.
“Rovco consistently provides high quality data which allows for our teams to gain a detailed insight into long term integrity management requirements, enabling us to optimise through-life operational costs.”
