Safety Walks: Why They Matter and How to Do Them Well
In offshore wind and marine construction, safety isn’t just a set of rules in a handbook; it’s a culture. And safety cultures aren’t built in the boardroom; they’re built on site. One of the most effective, and often underestimated, ways for the Client to grow that culture is through safety walks. This isn’t about management […]
Managing Budgets and Timelines in Offshore Wind Construction
The Offshore Wind Challenge Offshore wind construction is one of the most complex and capital-intensive infrastructure undertakings of the 21st century. With projects often spanning multiple years, involving international supply chains, marine operations, and weather-sensitive schedules, keeping budgets and timelines on track is no easy feat. Yet, as governments and developers race to meet net-zero […]

This article concludes our HVAC vs HDVC series and will provide you with a fundamental understanding of the differences between offshore HVAC and HVDC cables, allowing you […]
Part 1: HVAC and HVDC Offshore Cable Fabrication
Understanding the differences between offshore HVAC and HVDC cables is critical for project planning, cost optimization, and ensuring the reliability and efficiency of offshore wind and energy transmission systems. This article explores the key differences between these two cables which should be considered when undertaking a new offshore wind project. Offshore HVAC (High-Voltage Alternating Current) Cables Offshore HVAC […]
Offshore Wind Subsidies in the UK: A Catalyst for Change
Just two decades ago, offshore wind was largely viewed as an expensive and experimental idea. Today, it’s a core part of the UK’s clean energy strategy and driving local economies around the country. This transformation didn’t happen overnight and was mainly driven by government support in the form of subsidies. For 10 years from 2008 […]
