Check out our brand-new ReEnergise Podcast Mini-Series in which our Innovation Manager & RUK Global Offshore Wind Innovation Champion, Chris Del Valle, sits down with representatives from the SMEs that we’re hosting on the Catapult Pavilion.
Listen to the latest podcast here where we caught up with Thomas Barter from PD&MS Group here.
Chris Del Valle, one of our Innovation Managers at ORE Catapult, is the offical RUK Global Offshore Wind Innovation Champion.
Chris leads in the delivery of Launch Academy, ORE Catapult’s flagship technology accelerator programme, which is designed to support SMEs developing innovative technology solutions relevant to the offshore renewable energy sector by accelerating technology development and removing barriers to commercialisation.
Find him at our Catapult Pavilion (L85) and keep an eye out around the event as he’ll be taking over our social media at #RUKGOW23!
We are occupying stand L85 and stand M80 across both days of the conference. L85 is our main stand known as the ‘Catapult Pavilion’ in which we will be hosting various innovative companies. M80 is the OWGP (Offshore Wind Growth Partnership) stand.
Built-ID is a B Corp software company that enables decision-makers to deliver more socially impactful and sustainable places, using its award-winning digital community & occupier engagement platform, Give My View.
Aquatec designs instruments, technology, and custom underwater measurement, monitoring, and communication solutions. Its portfolio includes devices to measure physical oceanographic and subsea process parameters, as well as custom systems for offshore structures, including cathodic protection and monitoring, subsea pre-commissioning instrumentation, strain monitoring, cable protection and subsea leak detection.
Verlume is a leader in intelligent energy management and storage technologies. Verlume’s Halo subsea battery energy storage system with integrated intelligent energy management Axonn, ensures a continuous supply of clean power for critical offshore wind applications including ‘black start’, power for hydrogen electrolysers, dynamic grid containment and electric vessel recharging.
KLOC enables offshore wind farm inter-array cost savings typically in the region of 20% of cable CAPEX over the operational life. KLOC can either be licenced for in-house client use, or we offer consultancy. We are leaders in developing lifetime cost optimisation solutions using advanced mathematical and artificial intelligence techniques.
Tugdock have created the world’s first road transportable floating dry dock. With ports unable to grow as fast as the floating offshore wind sector needs them too, Tugdock tackles this challenge head on. Their patented marine buoyancy bag technology allows floating dry docks to be delivered by road in modular form and assembled at the port to dimensions far wider than most of the world’s existing dry docks.
SeaThor offers a range of engineering and technical solutions for our customers, focusing on cables and umbilicals for the offshore energy market. SeaThor’s SeaSpring technology offers an alternative for protection of subsea cables in dynamic applications, providing a cost effective and more reliable method to accommodate movement of floating structures.
PD&MS Group, established in 2002, is a specialist engineering company focusing on the Energy Sector. Our offshore wind services include onshore / offshore engineering, construction, modification / upgrades, BoP and decommissioning. The group includes engineering consultancy FEED specialists Optimus Plus (Aberdeen) Ltd and low carbon engineering specialist Synergie Environ Ltd.
Estd: 1992, Reflex Marine provides innovative, risk focused crew transfer solutions. Building on this wide ranging expertise in marine and engineering sectors Reflex is now developing a system for anchoring floating offshore wind (FLOW) installations.
JAVELIN: Changing the paradigm for high performance moorings in the sector, in that the anchor is installed deep in a borehole in higher strength seabed geological formations, and locked in place using a novel aggregate solution.
Eleven-I provide a condition monitoring system for wind turbine rotors. Bespoke field-proven hardware and automated analysis and prediction tools provide users with 24/7 insights on, not only damage and damage causing conditions, but on the behaviour and performance of their rotor. This information can be used to optimise O&M, reduce downtime and risk of catastrophic failures and increase the useful life of wind turbine blades. The system can be used for prototyping of new turbines, investigation into blade issues, validation of repairs, monitoring serial defects and for general purpose condition monitoring across whole fleets.
Developing advanced robots to assist technicians in the inspection and repair of turbine blades, without the need for rope access, BladeBug is setting out to transform blade inspection and repair through robotic, digitalised solutions. BladeBUG’s Crawler robot can be operated out of the line of sight meaning technicians can remotely perform maintenance tasks without the associated cost and without being exposed to harsh conditions.
Responding to a recognised industry need, Napkin are developing a quicker, cheaper and greener alternative to grouted connections for jacket foundations. Working alongside industry sector experts, including Kent plc and Strathclyde University, the innovative approach offers a repeatable, reliable process to reduce the risks linked with jacket installation.
