Rovco has signed a framework agreement with Ørsted to provide O&M work on the developer’s U.S. sites, the 30 MW Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island and 132 MW South Fork Wind Farm in New York.
Rovco plans to carry out the work using remote operated vehicles along with its simultaneous location and mapping technology to provide live stream inspections and real-time 3D reconstructions of site assets.
The Ørsted contract, along with other framework agreements, will enable the creation of 25 new roles that will be managed out of Rovco’s New York office, says Rovco.
“The U.S. has the potential to be a leading market for offshore wind and Ørsted is playing a key role in building capacity, so we’re proud to be supporting them with our high-tech offshore wind solutions,” adds Brian Allen, CEO at Rovco. “This framework agreement is an important contribution to Rovco’s global mission of accelerating the industry’s clean energy transition.”
