Substructures for UK Offshore Wind

Design, construction and installation

Optimising offshore substructures is one of the key challenges for reducing LCOE. Foundation designers have produced a variety of different solutions: monopiles, GBS, jackets, suction buckets and floating foundations. Looking at U.K. projects – different soils, water depths,fabrication timelines and installation challengescreate many questions for the industry to solve. We’re entering uncharted territory; projects arelarger, farther and more complex than ever completed.

Now is the time to have a close look at lessons learnt and define the room for improvement for the U.K. wind industry.

2nd Annual Offshore Power Cable Engineering and Reliability Forum

This exclusive BIS forum will showcase an analytical insights into how industry leaders are reducing risk and improving efficiency during offshore power cable installation. Participants will learn how to increase cable integrity and manage cost during offshore projects. This interactive forum will explore effective and safe maintenance of offshore cables in deeper, harsher environments. With a two day intimate forum followed by half a day workshop, joining together key industry professionals to discuss, brainstorm, share experience and partake in exclusive networking sessions in a flexible and dynamic platform – together shaping the future of the market.

As Europe strives to meet its 2020 renewable targets the need for infrastructure increases and the integration of renewable energy into the European grid along with the necessity for trade is of huge importance. HVDC offshore cables are a vital investment; both of time and money, and any challenges arising could result in operational and financial losses. An insight on how to efficiently cope with the changes and keeping up with market trends is needed.

This BIS GROUP Forum will allow leading electricity cable and interconnection players to exchange and discuss experience on reliable offshore power cable monitoring, protection strategies, repair and installation technologies that are vital for operating in cost-efficient manner. The forum will also provide solutions and strategies on how to overcome the challenges of laying and installing of offshore power cables in deep water / far offshore.

KEY TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Deepen your insight into the latest cable design advancements
• Identify the latest technological innovations in cable laying & installation projects
• Explore the possibilities of dynamic cables and deep water installation
