What you’ll learn
A comprehensive and detailed look at offshore wind
The offshore wind industry is undergoing a period of significant change.
Geopolitical instability, war and the rise in the cost of raw materials have all played their part. We’ve seen allocation rounds fail completely, while others have broken global records.
Where is our industry going? How can we find the people with the drive, technical skills and imagination to join us in helping offshore wind reach its full potential?
What is new in the third edition?
In addition to updating the numbers, technical learning, and our predictions on how the industry might evolve, we’ve added new content that draws on the true depth of expertise within the Empire Engineering team. Read on to hear our latest thinking on logistics, transport and installation, anchoring and mooring systems, turbine towers and offshore substations.
We hope you enjoy reading the guide as much as we did making it.
We share what we have learnt about offshore design over the years as well as highlighting the scale of the technical challenge we’re collectively facing as an industry.
We examine the technical developments facing foundation designers with the shift from shallower to deeper waters and the large-scale adoption of floating wind foundations.
Discover the factors that go into design considerations, the evolution of design over time, the impact of technology as well as valuable insight into the bigger picture of the health of the global supply chain.
Our aim is to spark further debate, give oversight of the opportunities that lie ahead and illuminate the problem solving skills that are going to make a real difference.
