In the first half of July 2022 a tender will be published. The objective of this tender is to conclude an agreement with a tenderer who is able to carry out a geological desktop study for multiple Dutch Wind Farm Zones.
The study is scheduled to commence in October 2022. The acquired geological information will be made public available for all potential bidders for offshore wind farms in the Netherlands. The objective is to conduct a study, utilizing available and public geophysical and geotechnical data and other sources of information, to gain a preliminary understanding of the soil and bathymetric conditions. The study will consist of analyses of literature, reprocessing and interpretation of existing seismic data and the development of a preliminary geological ground model which will act as input for future geophysical and geotechnical campaigns.
