Bristol-based Rovco (www.rovco.com) one of the offshore energy industry’s leading providers of ROV (remotely operated vehicle) and hydrographic services, coupled with artificial intelligence-based technology, has been awarded a long-term contract by CWind (part of the Global Marine Group) for sub-sea work on the East Anglia ONE offshore wind project.

This contract includes inspection and survey work on all sub-sea structures regarding the maintenance requirements of the wind turbine and sub-station foundations.

Brian Allen, CEO and founder of Rovco, said: “This multi-year contract is further proof that we are leading the way in providing modern services to the offshore energy industry. Being awarded a project of this size and scale by CWind is a testament to our hard work and our dedication to technology creation and delivery.

“Rovco is focused on providing operational excellence to the offshore wind industry, using marine robotics to increase the quality of work. Together with CWind, we bring unique efficiencies to the way offshore projects can be completed.”

The 714MW East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm first delivered power to the UK grid in early September 2019. All 102 turbines are now installed and full commissioning is expected later this year.
