The purpose of the Works is to carry out and document offshore geotechnical investigations at the site of Lillebælt Syd Nearshore Wind Farm of 20 to 44 wind turbines of 3.6 MW — 8 MW each. The total installed capacity is up to 160 MW. The foundations can either be monopiles, gravity based foundations or suction buckets (to be determined). The work is part of the initial investigations alongside an environmental impact assessment.

The objective of the Works is to verify the ground conditions investigated by the geophysical survey and to establish design parameters for the geotechnical design of the foundations.

The final reporting is in 5.2018.

The work is divided in 3 interlinked task, A-C.

Task A: Offshore Geotechnical borings with soil and core drilling incl. CPT Vibocores, and reporting.

Task B: Laboratory test and extracted samples, and reporting.

Task C: Interpretative Reporting and Geotechnical Design parametres.
