DNV and JIP partners enter Phase 2 to develop best practice guidelines for safer offshore installations

Wind Industry Profile of

DNV and partners confirm the completion of Phase 1 of a joint industry project (JIP) on Bottom Impact and Partially Submerged Conditions which has resulted in a new framework for optimising the installation process of offshore wind turbines. New partners are encouraged to join Phase 2, which will focus on validating models and establishing common best-practice guidelines to the benefit of the entire industry.

Offshore wind-turbine installation is currently done in very benign weather conditions to limit WTIVs bottom impact of the jack-up legs with the seabed during the set-down phase. This severely restricts their operability and results in high day rates that make delays very costly for operators and charterer. Regions exposed to earthquake risk also require new operation... ...
