How to assess the feasibility, CAPEX, and risks without a known turbine rating or floater design?

Challenge

Our client needed a realistic and cost-effective installation strategy for an early-stage offshore floating wind development without a known turbine rating or floater design.

Actions

We performed a constructability study that included construction and installation and assessed several base ports and floater designs. We provided insights on the methodology and cycle times and created a CAPEX model.

Benefits

We identified optimal project logistics, installation assets, and project planning. With additional added value delivered by providing a scenario comparison including installation procedures, durations, and weather limits.

Solution

We delivered an asset and equipment assessment alongside an installation storyboard with cycle times. This was also used to generate a cost model with valuable insights for the client on the marginal installation costs.
