A bird’s eye view of SEA INSTALLER’S optimised and standardised deck layout, which provides a long list of cost reductions, work process efficiencies, and safety benefits.
Standardised, optimised layout brings slew of benefits
By Glen Andresen
In the wind turbine construction business, few things are as important as deck layout. Get it right and projects can run more smoothly and safely.

Let’s insist on a safe journey

The offshore wind industry is facing two must-win battles. We need to reduce the cost of electricity from offshore wind turbines; and we need to improve our health and safety performance.
The two challenges have a number of similarities. In relatively few years, we need to accomplish what other industry sectors have spent many years achieving.

This is a major challenge. Continue reading

A helping hand with health and safety
RenewableUK has released an updated edition of its health and safety guidelines for the offshore wind and marine energy industries.
At around 270 A4 pages, the latest Offshore Wind and Marine Energy Health and Safety Guidelines is a fairly weighty document, but it makes highly interesting reading for those involved in ensuring safety in the industry. And that, these days, means almost everyone in some way or other. Continue reading
Bold changes lead the way
By Jens Frederik Hansen, CEO, A2SEA
There’s an old, wise English saying: “Charity begins at home”. I believe it is equally true (although less poetic) to say that “Leadership starts in the company”.
That’s why at A2SEA, the largest player in installation and market leader for over a decade, we have now begun leading the way toward a new level of industry achievement – starting with ourselves. Continue reading
