Met masts maintained
SeaRoc Group, a UK based specialist provider of marine and engineering services for offshore renewable energy projects, has successfully completed the first major maintenance visit to Forewind’s Dogger Bank meteorological (met) masts in the North Sea.
The East (DB-MME) and West (DB-MMW) masts have been installed for 15 and 8 months respectively and scheduled structural inspection, instrumentation and cleaning tasks were undertaken.
The met masts are collecting valuable wind, wave, atmospheric and marine traffic data for the proposed wind farms on Dogger Bank. The data will be used to help assess the technical options and economic viability of the projects in the zone.
SeaRoc continue to expand their met mast and offshore wind farm operation and maintenance capability and have also worked on Narec’s NOAH mast off Blyth, Northumberland.
SeaRoc have been involved throughout the project cycle on a large number of UK projects, as well as an increasing number of Northern European, North American, Australian and Asia-Pacific projects.
