Rovco has been awarded a contract to carry out work on the Beatrice offshore wind farm off the Scottish coast. 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 the site.

The survey work provides a focused approach to the monitoring and reporting of asset and critical infrastructure conditions year-on-year, delivering insights that enable the planning of potential preventative maintenance and remedial works.

The project will utilise the DPII vessel Glomar Wave to deploy a WROV, 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 will be managed from Rovco’s operational base in Scotland,.

Simon Miller, Managing Director for Rovco, 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. The team at Beatrice are early adopters of technology that helps drive efficiencies and smarter ways of collating and presenting valuable data. Delivering the highest quality insight available on the market, we ensure that the Beatrice team have the necessary information to fully inform their ongoing operations and maintenance planning and decision making.

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 & 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 provide 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. Alongside Rovco’s approach to innovation, their safety culture continues to align with our core values – with complex works completed efficiently and with a strong safety focus.”

he £2.6 billion Beatrice project is owned by SSE Renewables, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Red Rock Power Limited. It was constructed through project company Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited. It was given the green light for construction following Financial Close on 23 May 2016.

The project exported first power in July 2018. The 588 MW project is situated 13 km off the Caithness coast, with 84 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 turbines, capable of generating enough electricity to power approximately 450,000 homes per year.
