📋 Tender Overview
Contract awarded for Conclusion of a framework agreement for the preliminary investigation and exploration in the german exclusive economic zone of the north sea from 2027, including laboratory investigations and documentation (ferkl 2026) lot-0000, title: conclusion of a framework agreement for the preliminary investigation and exploration in the german exclusive economic zone of the north sea from 2027, including laboratory investigations and documentation (ferkl 2026), description: geotechnical exploration in the german exclusive economic zone of the north sea including documentation as part of the preliminary investigation according to § 10 abs. 1 nr. 2 windseeg. the geotechnical exploration includes continuous pressure soundings, discontinuous pressure soundings, borehole geophysical measurements, drilling for sampling including soil sampling, as well as laboratory investigations. the areas to be investigated per year are specified by the area development plan (fep). in the respective investigation area, continuous pressure soundings should be started. the depth of the continuous pressure sounding should be carried out until the procedural limit is reached. subsequently, the target depth (max. 80 m below the seabed) of the exploration is achieved by performing discontinuous pressure soundings. before drilling for sampling can begin, all pressure sounding results must be collected. the explorations must be logistically optimized and carried out continuously for each fep area. the client reserves the right to determine the order of the exploration works. the depth of the indirect and direct disclosures is a maximum of 80 m below the seabed. the depths to be explored at the individual locations of the pressure soundings will be determined in advance by the separately commissioned geotechnical support. after the complete collection of the pressure sounding results, these will be evaluated by the geotechnical support, so that the number and depth of the sampling drillings can be determined. non-cohesive soils are expected to be sampled only sectionally, while cohesive soils are expected to be sampled continuously. sampling drillings will take place at selected pressure sounding locations. based on the results of the core sampling, the specified laboratory program, which includes classification and soil mechanics tests, must be determined by the geotechnical support and executed by the contractor of this tender. the field investigations and documentation must be carried out according to din en iso 19901-8:2024-01. the laboratory tests should be conducted according to current standards and the bsh standard for site investigations for offshore wind farms. the results of the field investigations are to be summarized in an investigation report. the laboratory results are to be documented in a laboratory data report. for the year 2027, pressure soundings are to be conducted at 25 locations (13 locations up to 80 m and 12 locations up to 60 m) and drilling for sampling at 13 locations up to 80 m depth. for the year 2028, pressure soundings are to be conducted at 25 locations (13 locations up to 80 m and 12 locations up to 60 m) and drilling for sampling at 13 locations (3 locations up to 80 m and 10 locations up to 60 m). the exploration locations for the year 2027 will be on the fep area n-12.6 and the exploration locations for the year 2028 will be in the investigation area n-16 east. further calls for additional exploration work in the years 2027 and 2028 are currently necessary according to the planning status. however, there is no obligation to call. the expected quantities of the exploration scope for further calls in additional exploration years are based on the specifications of the windseeg and the area development plan and cannot currently be estimated. for further information on the description, see the service description. estimated value excluding vat: 1.00 eur.Conclusion of a framework agreement for the preliminary investigation and exploration in the german exclusive economic zone of the north sea from 2027, including laboratory investigations and documentation (ferkl 2026)
