Venterra Group company Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) has been awarded a contract to provide early supervisory and investigatory geophysical and geotechnical services for the 900 MW Baltica 1 wind farm, set to be located 80 km off Poland’s coast.
Services include the development of a ground model and the conceptual design of foundations for subsequent design stages for the project.
Situated in the Central Shoal area, north of the Baltica 2 and Baltica 3 projects, Baltica 1 has secured a location permit and a connection agreement.
“We are thrilled to be selected to deliver design services for the Baltica 1 offshore wind farm project,” says Paul Doherty, Venterra’s executive vice president for engineering.
“This appointment by PGE Baltica is a significant acknowledgment of our teams’ technical proficiency and the breadth of specialist services we offer including geoscience, advisory and design capabilities from concept through to detailed engineering. Working on such a prestigious project in the Baltic Sea is a privilege, a project which is key to Poland’s ambitious offshore wind targets. Venterra is fully committed to supporting Poland achieving the 5.9bGW capacity target by 2030, and hopefully further supporting the expansion of capacities. We are delighted to be working alongside such a prestigious client as PGE and look forward to supporting the success of this landmark project.”
