Offshore Cable Installation, Engineering & Maintenance 2012

Back for its 2nd year, Windpower Monthly is pleased to announce that its Offshore Cable Installation, Engineering & Maintenance Forum is taking place on 29-30 May 2012 in London.

Cables on offshore wind farms are notoriously difficult to install and maintain with the critical consequences of cable damage or failure that could halt power generation. The programme for 2012’s event has been carefully researched with over 50 offshore wind energy professionals to make sure you find the solutions to your biggest challenges and gain insights into hot-button issues throughout the lifetime of the cable, including:

-What will future cables look like & how will installation & long-term power generation be improved to avoid the common failures happening today?
-Developing a quick, efficient cable installation strategy to reduce costs & ensure smooth operations
-What tools & techniques could reduce insurance premiums?
-Assessing cable burial needs & choosing the best trenching methods for different sites
-Evaluating current & future cable protection systems to choose the correct solutions at the right cost
-What vessel & access solutions are there for cable installation in far-offshore, deep water sites?
-Identifying cost-effective tools for monitoring cable behaviour and failures during maintenance
-Building a fast, robust cable repair strategy to reduce downtime

PLUS! Benefit from an in-depth briefing on 31 May where key industry stakeholders will debate how standards for cable specification, installation & maintenance would reduce costs and what these standards should look like.

This forum is perfect for representatives from developers/project owners, WTG OEMS, and cable manufacturers and installers with the following job titles:
