Summary

Machine-generated summary

50Hertz, part of the Elia Group, together with Elia, is procuring a framework agreement for geotechnical investigations of offshore export cable routes in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The works cover offshore geotechnical investigations, offshore and onshore laboratory testing, and comprehensive reporting of results, supporting conceptual and detailed design for planned offshore HVDC and HVAC converter stations and their export cables. The specifications will be used in projects such as LanWin6 and other offshore wind farm clusters, including future Baltic Sea areas. Borehole depths are typically 5 to 10 metres, excluding offshore substations. Stated quantities serve comparison and calculation purposes only and constitute no guarantee.

Description

50Hertz and Elia tender a framework agreement on geotechnical investigations for export cable routes. 50Hertz, as part of the Elia Group, foresees the construction of several offshore high-voltage DC and AC stations (HVDC and HVAC), including the installation of the export cables in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. For this purpose, geotechnical investigations for the export cable route shall be performed to acquire all necessary information for the conceptual and detailed design phases. The geotechnical specifications will be used in several projects (e.g. LanWin6, as well as other OWF (offshore wind farm) clusters in the North Sea and future OWF areas in the Baltic Sea in addition to the existing windfarm areas). Quantities given in the tender documents are for the purpose of comparison and calculation. They do not constitue a guarantee. The scope of work encompasses offshore geotechnical investigations, including both offshore and onshore laboratory testing, as well as comprehensive reporting of the results. This scope applies to areas within both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, as detailed in the Scope of Works (SoW). The investigations are specifically related to export cable routes and do not include offshore substations. Consequently, the required borehole depths are relatively shallow, typically ranging between 5 to 10 meters, and will not extend to depths of 80 to 100 meters.
