Geoquip Marine获得美国海上风电项目合同

据离岸工程网站7月27日消息 总部位于瑞士的近海岩土工程和钻井公司Geoquip Marine表示，公司已获得一份合同，负责弗吉尼亚州维吉尼亚海滩海岸外的弗吉尼亚海岸风能（CVOW）商业项目的开发。

合同规定，在主租赁区的多个位置钻探深钻孔和深推进海底锥体贯入试验（CPTs），以及在出口电缆路线沿线的多个位置进行浅层推进海床锥体贯入试验。

Geoquip Marine首席执行官Stewart Higginson解释道：“项目规范包括钻孔深度，有些钻孔深度达到120米。只有很少的专业船只可用于这项工作，我们很自豪能够调动三艘钻井船来满足项目要求。”

Geoquip Marine负责主租赁区域和出口电缆路线沿线的所有实验室测试和最终岩土工程报告。

自Geoquip Marine成立以来，这是首个合同要求同时部署其三艘DP2船：Geoquip Saentis、Geoquip Speer和Dina Polaris。这也是Geoquip Speer自最近获得并全面改装后的首次部署，这些船停靠在弗吉尼亚州的纽波特纽斯。

Geoquip Marine Supports US Offshore Wind Project

Switzerland-based offshore geotechnical engineering and drilling company Geoquip Marine said it has secured a contract to work on the development of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project being developed by Dominion Energy off the coast of Virginia Beach, Va.

The contract stipulates the drilling of deep boreholes and deep push seabed Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) at multiple locations in the main lease area plus shallow push seabed CPTs and shallow boreholes at multiple locations along the export cable route.

“The project specifications include borehole depths, for some borings to 120 meters. There are very few specialist vessels available for the work, and we are proud that we are able to mobilize three of our drill ships to fulfil the project requirements,” Geoquip Marine CEO Stewart Higginson explains.

Geoquip Marine is responsible for all laboratory testing and final geotechnical reporting for the main lease area and along the export cable route.

For the first time since the founding of Geoquip Marine, this contract has demanded the simultaneous deployment of three of its DP2 vessels, the Geoquip Saentis, Geoquip Speer and Dina Polaris. It is also the first deployment of the Geoquip Speer since it was recently acquired and comprehensively refitted. The vessels are docked in Newport News, Va.
