Swissôtel Bremen, Germany
With wind farms moving into new water depths with challenging soilconditions & bigger turbines, big questions are being raised about foundationsneeds & which solutions are going to be the most applicable whilst bringingdown costs. Take 2 days out of the office to gain key insights into:
• How monopile designs can be adjusted to make them suitable for new projects
• Where & when jackets, gravity-base foundations or tripods will be most suitable
• Industrialising the manufacture, logistics & installation of all solutions to bring down thecost of energy
• How to best inspect & maintain new & existing foundations once installed to ensurethey last the full lifetime of the project
PLUS! Hear the latest from innovative demo projects Windfloat & Twisted Jackets

09.00-12.30 (Registration begins at 08.30)
As future rounds of offshore projects increase the numbers offoundations & other components needed for projects, efficientorganisation of the logistics from the assembly hubs to the sitebecomes essential to avoid delays & save money. Join WindpowerMonthly for this in-depth morning master class to gain practical &strategic tools on how to put together your logistics programmes.
During this highly interactive peer-to-peer experienceexchange the following will be addressed:
Fabrication logistics• Finding the right locations for assembly hubs - facilities needed• space• proximity to shore• Avoiding the need to transfer foundations between various vehiclesto get them to the load out site
Storage• as projects get bigger how can you ensure you have enoughspace for foundation storage?
- how should you most affectively lay foundations in the load-outarea to aid transfer to installation vessels?
• are there currently ports that can store hundreds of structures?• will there be enough room for future vessels to moor?
Transport to site• How much can of the foundation assembly can be done onshore? - how will this affect moving foundations from the storage areas to
the vessel deck?• impacts on installation timeframes• Vessel requirements & availability - how much deck space do you need?• efficient packing - load capacities - how will vessel be developed to guarantee the kind of flexibility
needed to increase the efficiency of installation?
