Offshore wind

 

Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to maintaining structural integrity, optimising performance, and extending the lifespan of wind turbines. However, these operations are fraught with challenges resulting from harsh environmental conditions, accessibility issues, and intricate logistics. OceanTech’s remotely operated robotic solutions perform splash zone operations beyond the capabilities of divers and ROVs. Leveraging our field-proven technology alongside advanced rope access and lifting methods simplifies these operations by reducing costs, enhancing safety, and minimising environmental impact.

Our services 

 

OceanTech performs cleaning, inspections, modifications, and repair work in the splash zone. Due to the stability of our working platform, our robotic solutions provide substantial advantages for fixed and floating turbine foundations. Services we provide in the offshore wind sector include:

  • Anode inspections and replacements
  • Cutting and removal of guides, braces, and brackets
  • Installations of wrapping solutions, bumpers, and guides
  • Monopile and jacket inspections and repairs
  • Repairs, retrofits, or replacements of boat landing systems

 

We bring extensive and diverse experience, having completed over 70 projects across 50 installations globally.

Modularity in design

 

Our modular approach, along with our technology's adaptability to diverse materials, geometries, and surface conditions, enables our access robots and tools to connect to any offshore asset or structure, including:

  • Access platforms
  • Boat landings
  • Corrosion protection systems
  • Jacket foundations
  • Monopile foundations
  • Transition pieces
  • Turbine towers

Why choose us

 

Cost savings

We offer significant cost savings by eliminating the need for divers, ROVs, or support vessels. Our robotic solutions reduce waiting times for weather windows, minimize downtime, guarantee predictable timelines for complex projects, and offer lower daily rates than other solutions.

Enhanced safety

Our robots and tools are operated from the topside, enabling unmanned operations near structures in confined spaces. This significantly enhances operational safety. We have achieved over 200,000 incident-free offshore work hours, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of our technology.

Reduced environmental impact

Our robots utilise existing infrastructure, allowing us to perform operations without the support vessels typically needed for divers and ROVs. This approach cuts emissions and lowers the risk of oil spills. Additionally, our ability to operate regardless of weather conditions helps decrease delays and further diminishes your environmental footprint.
