Ørsted Picks Bureau Veritas for Offshore Wind Site Conditions Assessment

Bureau Veritas has won a contract to provide Ørsted with project certification services related to offshore wind site conditions assessment.

Under the contract, Bureau Veritas will evaluate whether the assessment of the external conditions on site has been adequately undertaken and documented.

The site conditions assessment shall be evaluated in compliance with the international standard ‘IEC 61400-22 Wind turbines — Part 22: Conformity testing and certification’.

Geotechnics are not part of the evaluation scope at this point, Ørsted said, adding that an evaluation report and an accredited Conformity Statement following the requirements of IEC 61400-22 must be issued.

Ørsted is currently seeking a certification body for the assessment of the site conditions at its Borssele 1 & 2 sites.

The deadline for submission of tenders is 27 November 2017.
