🎧Uncrewed vessels and unprecedented data. The UK’s AR7 offshore wind awards in January 2026 were a strong boost on the road to Net Zero 2050, but delivery is the real test. In the latest @engineeringmatters episode, Roger Birchall SSE Renewables technical authority for geophysics, explores what it takes to build mega projects like Berwick Bank safely, efficiently, and on budget. A key theme? High quality, high resolution seabed data. 🔍 From identifying igneous dykes to de-risking client sites, the need for accurate survey insights to understand the seabed has never been greater. 🎧 Marco Gilissen, our Global Director, Marine Geophysics and Simon McIlroy, Survey Systems Architect, explain how the industry has evolved from relying solely on crewed vessels to split scopes embracing uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) - and why that shift is transformational. 🌊Introducing Blue Prism® Our new 17m, multi-sensor, next generation USV: • First fully dedicated site screening geophysics USV • Collects diverse Geo-data products simultaneously • Fully controlled from our onshore remote operations centres 👉 Whether you're in offshore wind, marine geophysics or simply fascinated by marine robots, this episode is worth a listen. 🎙️ Listen now: https://bit.ly/482ccsQ #OffshoreWind #USV #BluePrism #SSE #BerwickBank
