Offshore wind farm project, Beatrice, assigns contract to Rovco
In a significant development for the offshore wind industry, Rovco, a leading UK-based marine robotics and data company, has been awarded a three-year contract to carry out survey work on Scotland's second-largest operational offshore wind farm, Beatrice. Located in the Outer Moray Firth, Beatrice is a key player in the country's renewable energy sector.
The project will see Rovco's team utilise the Glomar Worker DPII vessel, equipped with a Work-class ROV, SubSLAM X2, and associated survey tooling suite, along with PanGeo Subsea's 3D Sub-Bottom Imager. This advanced equipment will be used to perform detailed underwater inspections and surveys of turbine foundations and subsea infrastructure.
Matthew Henderson, Subsea and Structural Engineering Manager of Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, expressed satisfaction at Rovco's return for a third year. Simon Miller, Managing Director for Rovco, stated that the company is thrilled to have been awarded the year three scope of work for Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm Ltd.
Complex works are completed efficiently by Rovco with a strong safety focus. Their innovative approach aligns with Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm's core values, providing high-quality data to aid in long-term integrity management requirements.
Projects like Beatrice generally bring job creation in operations, maintenance, and technical support roles, development of local supply chains and support services tied to offshore wind activities, and contribution to clean energy generation supporting regional economy and environmental goals.
Rovco's business growth is further supported by the recently announced completion of a £15.2 million Series B funding round into the business. Remaining incumbent at Beatrice strengthens Rovco's continued expansion.
The data provided by Rovco enables Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm to optimize through-life operational costs. The survey work provides a focused approach to the monitoring and reporting of asset and critical infrastructure conditions year-on-year.
