Offshore Wind

Innovating solutions for offshore wind

The offshore wind market is becoming increasingly competitive with traditional energy markets, with prices rivaling that of traditional fossil fuels. Offshore wind farm operators must confront a range of challenges to ensure the longevity and durability of their wind farms. Increasing environmental regulations are limiting the acceptable locations and installation methods for wind farms. The process of installing wind turbines and jackets remains long and costly, and as individual wind turbines grow larger, safety requirements become more complex.
