Testing Services

With the entire structure of offshore wind turbines being adapted to suit deeper waters and, in particular, significant advancements in floating wind, both the foundations and associated technologies, monitoring and data analysis must also adapt to suit the transition requirements from above sea level to below.

ORE Catapult provides a range of testing and validation services for entire structures and foundations, with access to major assets deployed offshore, as well as components associated with the base of turbines, such as cable systems, ROVs and anti-corrosion innovations.
