Ferdy Hengeveld

Manager Mechanical Engineering Van Oord

Agenda Day 2

Recent tender awards: trend of decreasing prices for offshore wind energy is continuing
Wind turbines are getting bigger and external conditions increase in complexity
Enormous pressure on the designers and supply chain to come up with improved foundation designs and installation methods meeting all requirements
Challenges for future foundations, e.g. related to manufacturing, transport, installation, noise mitigation etc.
Ongoing innovations that aim to solve those challenges: pile driving and noise mitigation of large monopiles
Slip joint connection that will be implemented in the innovation site Borssele V: the first time a submerged slip joint is used on a full size wind turbine on a full commercial basis

• Factors that complicate or delay installations

• Ensuring the project is delivered to the highest standards, on time and on budget

• Change management

• Risk management

• Project reporting
