Expertise

Did you know over 50% of insurance claims in offshore wind comes from subsea cable failures? Because when a cable fails, every wind turbine connected to it is unable to generate energy. At all. That’s why it’s crucial to monitor the health of your assets. Enter Fugro: we specialise in data-driven asset management, so you can monitor and assess the condition of your structures. This way, you’ll catch vulnerabilities before they pose a risk and schedule maintenance in time. With a longer asset lifetime as a result.

Continuous asset health monitoring helps minimise operations costs. And maximise the levelised cost of energy.

03 Improve HSSE

Safety first, always. Asset monitoring and assessment lets you improve HSSE and reduce risks.

04 Less downtime

Catch vulnerabilities before they result in downtime and failures.

Blue Essence 12m USV (Fugro Maali) , in port after performing a nearshore Inspection of Woodside�s three gas trunklines on the North West Shelf of Australia

Case study

Our first remote USV inspection

The 12-metre long Fugro Maali is our first operational Blue Essence™ uncrewed surface vehicle. For its maiden voyage, we used it to complete an entirely remote nearshore inspection of three gas trunk lines in Australia. No traditional inspection vessels required – our uncrewed vehicle not only got the job done, but it did so with less personnel HSE risk and carbon emissions.

Case study

Restraint solution stops flowlines slipping down continental shelf

Since their installation more than a decade ago, two flowlines carrying natural gas in Australia had been gradually slipping down the slope of the continental shelf. We used our Geo-data insights to design a complex flowline restraint system that secured the flowlines for our client.

Case study

Clever thinking, innovative maintenance solutions

Extremely shallow water. Strong currents. Soft sediments. That’s what we had to work with at the Arklow Bank offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea. On top of that, to carry out the required maintenance, entire wind turbine rotors had to be removed so we could access the hubs. The problem? These rotors weigh 90 tonnes and have diameters of 105 metres.
