Offshore Wind Upskilling

 

"This course was an invaluable learning experience for any engineer interested in the offshore wind industry. It provided a comprehensive overview of the turbine lifecycle, from leasing to decommissioning. I also learned about the essential roles of ports, vessels, and logistics in transporting turbine components to the site. One of the highlights was the floating wind turbine site exercise, which taught me the strategic site selection process before leasing applications."

Blade Testing & Inspection Workshop

​

“The Offshore Wind Blade Testing and Inspection Workshop was very informative. Having the ability to see the scale and size of these blades in person allows one to put the inspecting process into perspective. Knowing what’s possible when it comes to inspecting blades will give one a better understanding of the decisions made during operations and management of wind turbines.”

Deep Dive Into Offshore Wind Foundations 

​

"This course is essential for every civil engineer involved in offshore wind turbine foundations. It provides in-depth knowledge of various foundation types and the critical aspects of load transfer to soil. You’ll learn how to select the optimal foundation based on many factors including site conditions and soil characteristics. A key takeaway is understanding the installation process of these foundations, ensuring that designs are not only theoretically sound but also practically feasible for real-world deployment."
