2nd July 2010 - The wind farm developer PNE
WIND AG (ISIN: DE000A0JBPG2) has completed another important step in 
the preparation for the start of construction of the offshore wind 
farm "Gode Wind II" in the North Sea. In the past few months, the 
necessary building ground survey was carried out for the sites of all
planned 84 wind energy plants and the transformer station. Thorsten 
Fastenau, manager of the offshore division and chief representative 
of PNE WIND AG, explains the results: "The surveys were carried out 
with a special boat in accordance with the building ground surveying 
standards of the BSH (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency). For 
this, 84 cone penetration tests were made with an average survey 
depth of 48 metres and 11 additional holes were drilled for the 
removal of soil samples."
The survey was carried out by Fugro Consult GmbH with technical 
support from two representatives of the foundation engineers 
Steinfeld&Partner GbR, who also produced the survey concept. The work
in the project area about 40 kilometres to the north of the island of
Norderney took around 10 weeks. For the survey, the 111-metre-longe 
offshore drilling ship "Fugro Saltire" was used, which among other 
things has its own 150-ton crane on board and was placed into service
in 2008 especially for offshore deployments.
With the completion of this deep building ground survey at the sites 
of the future offshore wind energy plants, an important step has been
taken in the framework of the concrete technical development of the 
offshore project "Gode Wind II". Martin Billhardt, Chairman of PNE 
WIND AG: "Together with our project partners, we are working very 
intensively and on the most various levels to meet all the conditions
for the start of construction of this offshore wind farm project as 
swiftly as possible. The successful survey makes us confident that it
will be possible to start the realisation of "Gode Wind II" in 
2011/2012."
