Cornwall-based developer Wave-tricity have issued a speculative contract notice for the refit and refurbishment of their test barge. Earlier this month the company received EU funding to test their device off the coast of Pembrokeshire.
The contract is for the refurbishment and fit out of a 1940’s concrete water barge, that is partly converted as a house boat, for use as a trials platform. The trials platform will be used to mount the power generating equipment associated with wave energy convertor point absorbers. An additional work stream will involve design support for the design of the full sized platform which will be manufactured on completion of the initial 2 year trails period.
All refit work needs to be completed by 10 Feb 2017 to allow sailing preparations to be carried out.
