Since the first publication of these Guidance Notes, in 2014, there has been a significant increase in the scale and number of offshore renewable energy projects. While projects in northwest Europe have led the way, renewable energy projects are now being proposed and progressed in many parts of the world, including significant projects in North America, Asia and Australia. Wind turbines (and thus their foundations) have been getting larger.
The Guidance Notes are designed to be generic in nature, and to be applicable to a wide range of offshore renewable schemes, worldwide. Although, they are neither intended to be a standard nor a specification, they are technically robust and represent the state of the industry at the time of writing. Whilst the techniques and processes referred to are common and widely used in the marine environment, each project will have its own specific requirements.
