2H has been awarded a four-year integrity management contract for the Moray West Offshore Wind Farm.

The contract’s scope covers all balance of plant equipment, including the wind turbine generators’ monopile foundations and tower structures, inter-array and export cables, and offshore and onshore substations.

2H will develop and implement integrity plans for the structural and electrical equipment at the site, aiming to optimise operating costs and preserve the condition of the assets.

2H’s engineering office in Aberdeen, along with its integrity management division, Clarus, will execute the project.

The Vekta Group, based in Edinburgh, will provide specialist expertise for balance of plant electrical and high-voltage equipment.

“We are excited to partner with the Moray West operations and maintenance team to implement an IM programme for their BoP equipment,” stated Ricky Thethi, global director at 2H.

“2H and Clarus have two decades of experience managing long-term integrity programmes for offshore structures, and we believe that all stakeholders will greatly benefit from our structured, risk-based approach to IM, gaining better visibility of key risks and the ability to address integrity issues during operations.”

Jamie Dempster, senior O&M manager for Moray West, commented: “We are delighted to have signed this agreement with 2H that will utilise their Scottish-based expertise, supported by their wider teams.

“As Moray West moves towards its operational phase, Ocean Winds will be operating the largest capacity of offshore wind in Scotland, a great achievement demonstrating our evolution from focusing on development to focusing on energy generation.”

Ocean Winds is a 50/50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, which is currently constructing the array in the North Sea.

2H delivers advanced systems engineering for a range of offshore structures in the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors.

US Supreme Court blocks Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy settlement that would have shielded its wealthy Sackler family owners from lawsuits over their role in the nation's deadly opioid epidemic. The 5-4 decision reversed a lower court's ruling that had upheld the plan to give Purdue's owners immunity in exchange for paying up to $6 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits accusing the company of unlawful misleading marketing of OxyContin, a powerful pain medication introduced in 1996. The ruling represented a victory for President Joe Biden's administration, which had challenged the settlement as an abuse of bankruptcy protections meant for debtors in financial distress, not people like the Sacklers who have not filed for bankruptcy.
