Italy’s Next Geosolutions has won a contract from TenneT worth €9m ($10.4m) for marine survey activities in the Voordelta – Nederwiek 3 offshore wind area.

The work will assess the technical feasibility of a cable corridor, identify any seabed obstacles, and support the design and engineering phases of the infrastructure.

Specifically, operational activities will include geophysical and geotechnical marine surveys along the cable route, based on the acquisition and processing of geophysical data for seabed mapping, complemented by deep geotechnical sampling and analyses down to 40 metres, aimed at characterising the subsoil, as well as the identification of any unexploded ordnance and obstacles along the route.

Operations will take place in nearshore and tidal areas, with completion of activities expected by the third quarter of 2026.

The award forms part of TenneT’s broader European offshore power grid development programme and contributes to one of the most advanced infrastructure plans at the continental level, in a context characterised by growing demand for renewable energy.
