Achieving Success in Offshore Wind: Specialist Support Ensures Materials and Corrosion Integrity for a Major Wind Farm Project

BACKGROUND

A joint offshore wind farm project was developed by several leading entities. The project boasts a contracted capacity of over 350MW and is located in far east.

CHALLENGE

During the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) phase, the project encountered a substantial challenge related to materials and corrosion management due to its complex supply chain.

OGC ENERGY'S ROLE

OGC Energy provided specialist support to ensure that all materials and welding were correct, and the corrosion protection, including coating and cathodic protection, was fit for purpose. Our team used their extensive expertise in materials and corrosion to guarantee the success of the project.

Our team's approach included developing a detailed corrosion risk management plan applied for fabrication and installation that accounted for the unique challenges of the project. We provided ongoing support throughout the EPC stage, conducting regular support to the owner and interfacing with fabrications to ensure that all materials and coatings were fit for service. We also provided expert advice on materials selection, welding procedures, and corrosion protection measures to minimize the risk of corrosion and ensure the longevity of the wind farm.

The benefits of OGC Energy's specialist support are significant. By ensuring that all materials and welding were in accordance with the project requirements and the corrosion protection was fit for purpose, we helped ensure the success of the project. This, in turn, will provide a reliable and sustainable source of power to approximately 380,000 households per year.
