OVERCOME YOUR CHALLENGES IN OFFSHORE WIND WITH BUREAU VERITAS 

Mar. 7 2024

Rising costs, supply chain challenges and the failed UK capacity auction last year are putting huge pressure on the offshore renewables industry. Whilst the opportunity to exploit new technologies including dynamic cabling remains strong, project delays and job losses are causing uncertainty for developers, asset operators and managers. 

As a result, it has never been more important to minimise costs and take steps to ensure the validity of projects from the outset. And Bureau Veritas supports that goal with a full range of services throughout the project lifecycle. 

Our renewables services portfolio cycle (below) sets out the vast range of services on offer from Bureau Veritas experts, across the site design and permitting, procurement, construction, asset operation and asset management phases, plus certification to help demonstrate compliance and secure viability. 

Bureau Veritas combines technical know-how and regulatory understanding with a global network and many years of experience in the renewables sector, to support your offshore wind projects

We work with designers, developers, operators and managers to help make sure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget and in line with regulatory requirements. This includes supply chain services, as well as services to ensure risk management, performance optimisation, sustainability and viability of projects in challenging market conditions.

This is a difficult time for many in offshore wind, which is why it’s so important to control costs and reduce project risks. We work with clients at every stage of the project lifecycle, offering end-to-solutions that are already delivering benefits for projects across the world.

“The most important thing is to engage your safety and compliance partner early in the process. The earlier we can get involved at the initial design and permitting stage, the more value we can offer in terms of cost savings, viability exercises and ongoing risk reduction.”
