PGE SAPGE Baltica has contract for surveying Baltic seabed for Baltica 9 offshore wind farm project
PGE Baltica has a contract for work related to research of the Baltic Sea bottom for the presence of unexploded ordnance and shallow gas for the Baltica 9 offshore wind farm project, the company said in a press release.
“The scope of work includes the performance of geophysical surveys and processing, interpretation and analysis of the collected data together with the issuance of so-called ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) certificates for specific locations on the Baltic seabed, where geotechnical research will be carried out in the long term," the company wrote in a press release.
“These certificates are intended to confirm the minimization of the risk of drilling a well in a location with potential hazards (such as unexploded ordnance or shallow gas deposits),” it added.
The surveys will be carried out by a consortium of companies: surveying and research company Geo Ingenieurservice Poland and Baltic Diving Solutions as fleet operator.
“The surveys will be carried out in locations selected in the preceding 2D UHRS geophysical campaign, also carried out by Geofizyka Torun, and are scheduled for the third quarter of 2025,” it was stated.
They added that these will allow for the preliminary selection of foundation locations for specific turbines within the planned wind farm.
The Baltica 9 Offshore Wind Farm is a project located in one of the five areas allocated to PGE in 2023.
It is to be built at a distance of about 48 km from the shore, on an area of about 121 square kilometres, in an area close to PGE's other offshore wind projects and the service port in Ustka, which is under construction.
The installed capacity of the installation is expected to be around 975 MW.
