Sønderborg Affald has invited geotechnical survey services providers to bid for work on the proposed Lillebælt Syd wind farm offshore Denmark.
The work is part of the initial investigations alongside an environmental impact assessment, authorized by the Danish Energy Agency in June this year.

The foundations, still to be determined, can either be monopiles, gravity based foundations or suction buckets.
The objective of the works is to verify the ground conditions investigated by the geophysical survey and to establish design parameters for the geo-technical design of the foundations.
The work is divided in 3 interlinked task:

— Laboratory test and extracted samples, and reporting;
— Interpretative reporting and geo-technical design parameters.
The final reporting is scheduled for May 2018.
