British Geological Survey (BGS) was awarded a contract by SSE Renewables (in partnership with Cathie) to develop a dynamic regional ground model for the FEED design of the Berwick Bank (and Marr Bank) offshore wind projects. BGS geoscientists based at the Lyell Centre in Edinburgh were to contribute to a complete regional ground model solution integrating geology, geophysics and geotechnics to reduce seabed risk and inform subsequent geotechnical survey and design activities.
