Notes on offshore wind foundation scour, subsea cable exposure and targeted surveys.
O&M & surveys
Cutting offshore wind subsea survey costs with targeted surveys
How to target MBES and ROV surveys by risk, the savings on three demo farms, and the rules for using it alongside…
Cables & satellites
Subsea cable exposure and anchor drag: what satellites can and cannot see
Why offshore wind cables become exposed, why anchors matter, and how radar satellites spot vessels near cables, with their limits.
Scour & foundations
Offshore wind foundation scour: compute it before you send the survey vessel
Why scour forms around offshore wind foundations, how to estimate it from wave and current data, and how to calibrate the calculation…
Pilot analysis
Send us the wind farm name. We send back a first report.
Tell us the location, number of turbines and foundation type. We build the layout from satellite detection and return a first report with scour per foundation, exposure risk per cable segment and a survey priority list.
