London and South of England Lunch and Learn – Offshore Floating Windfarm Projects – What can an Energy Loss Adjuster Expect?

19 May, 2017

RETURN TO LISTINGS

The technology involved in conventional piled offshore windfarms is now well established and understood within the renewable energy sector. The next big step-change for that industry will be the development of wind farms in deeper water and more hostile environments necessitating the use of floating structures.


The presenters will discuss whether the evolution of floating windfarms presents new and unique engineering challenges or whether they draw parallels from the evolution of offshore deep water oil and gas platforms.
