Offshore wind operations and maintenance

One of the benefits of working with Fugro is access to our advanced remote operations centres. Globally distributed and interconnected, these centres are capable of continuously monitoring the health of your offshore wind assets. This gives you uninterrupted access to highly accurate data around the clock.

You can use this data to reduce your overall maintenance costs, with the help of Fugro's experts turning Geo-data into actionable insight. Fugro’s expertise spans a wide range of inspection and monitoring (I&M) services tailored for offshore wind projects.

But it's not just about collecting data. Our goal is to minimise downtime and keep offshore wind farms operating efficiently. We combine data consultancy with asset management to ensure structural integrity and optimise performance. We give clients a complete view of asset integrity throughout its life cycle.

By combining Geo-data and site characterisation insights, we give you the power to make informed decisions about your offshore projects.

Experts: Our decades of experience collecting Geo-data of the built and natural environments include approximately half of the world's offshore wind farm sites. Our team supports clients across all stages of the life cycle, increasingly those involved in operations and maintenance. By compiling Geo-data into a single archive, we help you reduce risk, optimise performance, and plan maintenance with confidence.

Collaborative: Fugro transforms disconnected data into integrated insights. This includes combining activities such as subsea cable mapping, structural integrity surveys and environmental site assessments into tailored inspection or monitoring solutions. In addition to our own data streams, we can integrate third-party data from various sources via our advanced Geo-data platform, VirGeo®. This gives you a clear and accessible understanding of your site’s condition so you can decide what action is needed.

Adaptable: At Fugro, we offer a wide variety of proven solutions which can be configured to meet your exact needs. Our expertise enables tailored maintenance regimes which integrate seamlessly with your operational strategy and supply chain, to ensure long-term asset performance. Wind farms may vary in size, type and remoteness, but our approach is adaptable, scalable and applicable to both individual sites and entire portfolios.

Innovative: With a presence in over 50 countries, Fugro are determined to deliver. Our goal is to provide the insights and advice that our clients need so they can make decisions and take action.

To deliver safer, more efficient operations for our clients, innovation has always been at the heart of Fugro. Our remote technologies combine satellite positioning, uncrewed surface vessels, and cloud-based data processing to reduce offshore risk, lower costs, and provide faster insight for subsea inspection, repair and maintenance.

In renewable energy, O&M is about keeping assets performing reliably every day.

Operations cover the ongoing monitoring and management of energy production – tracking performance, analysing data, and ensuring turbines and infrastructure are operating as expected. Maintenance includes both planned, preventative work and reactive repairs, from routine inspections through to diagnosing and fixing faults when issues arise.

For offshore wind farms, O&M plays a critical role in protecting availability and revenue. Operators rely on it to maximise energy output, manage risk, and extend the working life of their assets. Subsea foundations, cables, and structures are constantly exposed to harsh weather, dynamic seabed conditions and increasing environmental pressures such as rising sea levels.

Through accurate Geo-data and insight into both the assets and the environment they operate in, we help you understand what’s changing, where the risks are, and when action is needed. That results in better-timed inspections, more targeted maintenance, and fewer unplanned outages – helping offshore wind farms run more safely and efficiently.
