[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] VIDIA announced on the 2nd that Korea Marine Technology has completed the marine survey according to the ‘Wando Offshore Wind Power Marine Survey Service’.
VIDIA won the ‘Wando Offshore Wind Power Project Construction Contract’ in May and subsequently signed the ‘Wando Offshore Wind Power Marine Survey Service Contract’ with Korea Marine Technology. Accordingly, Korea Marine Technology surveyed the overall seabed conditions of the Wando Offshore Wind Power Project area, including seabed topography, seabed features, and the presence of underwater facilities.
A VIDIA official stated, “The marine survey results will be used as basic data for the installation of underwater cables,” adding, “Based on these survey results, we plan to carry out foundation civil engineering for wind turbines, design the optimal route for underwater cables, and analyze hazards along the route.”
He continued, “We will also use the data as basic materials for the development activity permit application to accelerate project progress,” and explained, “As the company is reinforcing its professional workforce and establishing a cooperative network with wind power-related companies, we expect to achieve visible results in the offshore wind power project soon.”
The Wando Offshore Wind Power Project is being developed in the Wando-eup area of Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, with an installed capacity of 148.5MW and a total project cost reaching 800 billion KRW. VIDIA is participating as a strategic investor and contractor in the project, responsible for foundation civil engineering and substructure construction for wind turbine installation, as well as power grid connection works for transmission and distribution. The contract amount reaches 391.8 billion KRW.
