How Robust Integration of Marine Geophysics and Geotechnics Inform the Progressive Ground Model Approach for the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Development

Tuesday, 2 May
610
Technical / Poster Session
The Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind farm development is among the largest offshore wind energy projects along the U.S. East coast. This session demonstrates how Atlantic Shores integrated multiple years of marine geophysics and geotechnics data acquisition, interpretation, and reporting to develop and inform their progressive ground model approach to support the full range of the project’s possible detailed design parameters. Inter-disciplinary coordination between Geology, Geotechnics, Marine Archaeology, Benthic Studies, and data management was critical for the success of the project’s site characterization and is detailed in presentations within the session.
