Quickly expanding - the offshore wind farm sector is ready to meet the world's growing need for renewable energy.
We develop solutions that is tailored to help the pioneers of this green power revolution. With decades of offshore experience and inhouse know-how, our technology backbone meets the challenges of operating under extreme conditions.
Supporting operators, surveyor and contractors in every stage of offshore wind farm development.
Supporting development through every phase
The integrity of your data is vital for making confident decision making and developing healthy, sutainable solutions for the ocean space.
1. Pre-survey and planning
Surveys provide essential data for site selection, design, and construction reducing uncertainty, cost, and delays, enhancing development efficiency.
Site characterization surveys offer detailed information about the seafloor and sub-seafloor conditions, crucial for determining foundation types, assessing hazards, and planning layouts.
Environmental impact assessments evaluate the wind farm's effects on the marine ecosystem, aiding in obtaining permits. Geophysical and geotechnical surveys map and define the ocean floor, providing data for cable routes and engineering. Risk mitigation surveys identify potential hazards, ensuring safety and reliability.
2. Construction
From the drawing board to fully constructed — operating under water is no small feat. Our acoustics positioning solutions keeps you secured for operations that require precise positioning.
3. Operation & Maintenance
Wind farms have an expected lifespan of at least 25 years. This means that inspections, monitoring and preventive maintenance is key in securing optimal performance.
4. Decomissioning
At the end of its operational life, dismantling and removing the wind farm is essential in minimizing environmental impact. Surveys must be conducted in order to assess the state of the environment and make sure it is brought back to as was.
