RWE and ARC marine launch the world’s first full-scale pilot using eco-engineered reef cubes® as scour protection to protect turbine foundations and enhance marine biodiversity at the same time.
ARC marine are providing over 75,000 reef cubes®, made in the UK from low-carbon, recycled materials – a sustainable alternative to traditional rock scour protection, to be deployed at RWE’s Rampion Offshore Wind Farm.
ARC marine and RWE view this as a flagship project to demonstrate and evaluate the potential for Nature Inclusive Design (NID) solutions to effectively meet both engineering and biodiversity requirements.
RWE, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies,
