15th June 2021

Arup, in association with Offshore Design Engineering Limited (ODE), has been commissioned by Hyundai Engineering Corporation as the Technical Consultant for Korea Wind Energy Co Ltd’s 220MW Anmado Offshore Wind Project in South Korea.

Located at the coast of the South Jeolla Province (Jeollanam-do) of South Korea, the project is one of the initial offshore wind projects to support the country’s energy plan released in 2017 to have at least 20% of electricity produced by renewables by 2030 and 30-35% by 2040.

Arup–ODE team will assess the local conditions to determine the most appropriate foundation system, turbine technology and site layout for the chosen site in order to facilitate the early project planning works.

Leveraging our long-established expertise from the European offshore wind market and further project experience in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam, Arup and ODE’s multidisciplinary teams in Europe and Asia have an in depth understanding of the specific challenges to be faced and how they can be applied to the local conditions and regulatory framework. Through its strategic network of offices across the region, Arup–ODE will deliver world-class engineering services to the project.

“We’re excited to be able to contribute our expertise to the project, drawing upon our combined experiences for the development of offshore wind farms in the UK, Europe, Japan, Vietnam and Taiwan. We look forward to engaging with the Korean offshore wind industry to utilise these skills. ” Peter Thompson, East Asia Energy Business Leader

“With extensive experience of the offshore wind industry globally and regionally, we are delighted to be working in partnership with Arup to support Wind Energy Co in the development of the Anmado Offshore Wind Farm. This project will play an important role in the Korean offshore wind power generation. It is an exciting opportunity and we are proud to be a key part of it. ” David Robertson, Director & Head of Renewables, ODE

ODE team tackles 100-mile cycle challenge for Renewable World

14th June 2021

Throughout this month, a cycling team of ODE employees – The ODE Cyclepaths – have been challenging themselves to complete the 100-mile Earth Wind and Tyre route in aid of Renewable World. The event is open to all in the renewable energy industry and aims to improve access to renewable energy sources to end poverty and reduce the impact of climate change.

This is the third year ODE employees have taken part in the Earth Wind and Tyre event with 2021 seeing the biggest team to-date. For the first time, however, the Earth Wind and Tyre race was held both in-person and virtually in response to ongoing restrictions. 5 ODE employees braved the route in-person on the 5^th June, tackling hills up to 25% in incline and reaching up to 8,280ft along the hills surrounding the city of Durham. Those attending virtually have created their own 100-mile routes to complete throughout June. > Read More

Executing its first renewables contract in Ireland, ODE will be working closely with client Codling Wind Park Ltd (CWPL), a 50/50 joint venture between Fred. Olsen Renewables and EDF Renewables.

Initially planned as two separate wind farms, the now-combined Codling Wind Park is expected to span an area of around 125km² approximately 13-22 kilometres off the County Wicklow coast, between Greystones and Wicklow Town. The project is anticipated to have an installed capacity of 900-1500MW and use up to 140 wind turbine generators (WTG). A planning application is expected to be submitted in the first half of 2022. > Read More
