Fugro has landed a contract to carry out post-installation surveys for the East Anglia TWO offshore wind farm, a project that will eventually generate 960 MW of clean power for roughly 950,000 British households.
The announcement comes as offshore wind developers push for faster installation timelines without sacrificing foundation reliability. Cadeler, which handles installation duties for several major North Sea projects, tapped Fugro to ensure every monopile meets strict quality benchmarks.
Starting in early 2027, Fugro will deploy its FCV® 600 work class remotely operated vehicle from a Cadeler installation vessel. The ROV will inspect 64 monopile foundation locations, confirming each one sits exactly where engineers intended. Beyond placement verification, the surveys will generate Geo-data critical for assessing long-term structural health.
Meanwhile, the two companies already collaborate at Hornsea 3, an even larger development requiring 197 monopile foundations. Fugro specialists stationed aboard the vessel Wind Ally provide positioning and construction support throughout that campaign. Their InclinoCam® vision technology tracks tilt, inclination, and vertical alignment continuously, helping Cadeler hit centimeter-level installation accuracy.
“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Fugro, whose track record in the offshore industry and position as one of the market leaders in ROV and survey services provide confidence in the quality and reliability of the data required to support successful project delivery,” said Maxime Duthoit, Cadeler’s Senior Project Manager.
Stuart Hamilton, Fugro’s Positioning and Construction Support Director for Europe and Africa, emphasized the breadth of capabilities his team brings to these developments. Fugro’s involvement spans the full project lifecycle, from early site investigations through construction-phase survey, positioning, and inspection work.
As a result, Cadeler gains a single partner able to maintain consistent data quality across multiple wind farms simultaneously. That operational efficiency matters as European offshore wind targets grow increasingly ambitious through the decade.
