Monitoring turbidity for the Dieppe – Le Tréport offshore wind farm project – Le Tréport

setec énergie environnement designed and deployed a real-time turbidity monitoring system to track the effects of dredging operations on the marine environment throughout the duration of the project.

The services provided include:

• The design and deployment of a network of 5 connected buoys equipped with turbidity measurement probes and automatic cleaning systems for the sensors;
• The acquisition, transmission and real-time visualization of environmental data;
• The definition and implementation of a specific NTU/MES calibration protocol ensuring the reliability and accuracy of measurements;
• The hosting and the provision of the data on the Proxymae web platform;
• The implementation of an automated system for alerts in the event of exceeding turbidity thresholds, equipment fouling, or transmission interruption;
• The analysis and interpretation of the data obtained during the work;
• The production of weekly reports intended for the project teams;
• The intervention complies with the HSSE requirements applicable to offshore operations.

Thanks to this customized solution, Nexans has benefited from continuous access to environmental data and decision-support tools that enable the reactive monitoring of operations at sea.
