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.

Benefits
01 Better performance, longer lifetime
Our data-driven asset management helps you schedule maintenance in time. Your assets won’t just work better, but longer too.
02 Cost-efficient
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.
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.
