據離岸工程網站7月27日消息 總部位于瑞士的近海巖土工程和鉆井公司Geoquip Marine表示，公司已獲得一份合同，負責弗吉尼亞州維吉尼亞海灘海岸外的弗吉尼亞海岸風能（CVOW）商業項目的開發。

合同規定，在主租賃區的多個位置鉆探深鉆孔和深推進海底錐體貫入試驗（CPTs），以及在出口電纜路線沿線的多個位置進行淺層推進海床錐體貫入試驗。

Geoquip Marine首席執行官Stewart Higginson解釋道：“項目規范包括鉆孔深度，有些鉆孔深度達到120米。只有很少的專業船只可用于這項工作，我們很自豪能夠調動三艘鉆井船來滿足項目要求。”

Geoquip Marine負責主租賃區域和出口電纜路線沿線的所有實驗室測試和最終巖土工程報告。

自Geoquip Marine成立以來，這是首個合同要求同時部署其三艘DP2船：Geoquip Saentis、Geoquip Speer和Dina Polaris。這也是Geoquip Speer自最近獲得并全面改裝后的首次部署，這些船停靠在弗吉尼亞州的紐波特紐斯。

Geoquip Marine Supports US Offshore Wind Project

Switzerland-based offshore geotechnical engineering and drilling company Geoquip Marine said it has secured a contract to work on the development of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project being developed by Dominion Energy off the coast of Virginia Beach, Va.

The contract stipulates the drilling of deep boreholes and deep push seabed Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) at multiple locations in the main lease area plus shallow push seabed CPTs and shallow boreholes at multiple locations along the export cable route.

“The project specifications include borehole depths, for some borings to 120 meters. There are very few specialist vessels available for the work, and we are proud that we are able to mobilize three of our drill ships to fulfil the project requirements,” Geoquip Marine CEO Stewart Higginson explains.

Geoquip Marine is responsible for all laboratory testing and final geotechnical reporting for the main lease area and along the export cable route.

For the first time since the founding of Geoquip Marine, this contract has demanded the simultaneous deployment of three of its DP2 vessels, the Geoquip Saentis, Geoquip Speer and Dina Polaris. It is also the first deployment of the Geoquip Speer since it was recently acquired and comprehensively refitted. The vessels are docked in Newport News, Va.
