Discover how ground conditions shape anchor design for floating wind turbines, from soil variability to advanced geotechnical site investigation and engineering analysis.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, with a growing number of applications in the offshore wind industry. AI is currently employed in wind resource assessment, environmental impact assessment and predictive maintenance. Looking ahead, AI-enabled digital twins represent a promising future application that has the potential to significantly reduce developer costs. 

OrcaFlex analyses are run by our engineers to validate mooring system designs, to simulate offshore installation, repair and decommissioning operations and ensure that offshore operations are safe and well planned with regard to tensions, loads, clearances, and the proper sequencing of events.

Mooring failures are one of the most critical events in offshore asset integrity. Studies have shown that around 45% of mooring failures are either single line or multiple line failures caused by corrosion and fatigue, amongst other factors.

Loss of subsea asset integrity risks environmental and reputational damage for operators. It may jeopardise safety, cause costly deferred or lost production, and require complex remedial work. Consequently, ensuring integrity through a reliable inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) process is essential, but not always easy when managing multiple service providers.
