Our Marine Wind Farm Services
Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
Downtime is costly, so our team are on standby to ensure swift, expert intervention when structural or component maintenance and replacement is needed. Red7Marine offers a range of services including vessels, crew, equipment, planning and engineering services, to deliver a truly turnkey O&M solution.
- Component Repairs
Expert teams support the repair and replacement of any structural or operational part of a wind farm to minimise downtime and maximise efficiency. - Cost-Effective Fleet
Smaller, more versatile vessels provide a competitive alternative to traditional O&M solutions. - Specialist Support
Our in-house team of engineers can help with: site-specific assessments, leg penetration analysis, seafastening design, project management, lift planning and supervision. We also regularly work with marine warranty surveyors who review all relevant documentation and approve our vessels for the task at hand.
Site Investigation
A full understanding of the conditions on site is vital to the success of any project at sea.
Examples of site investigation campaigns we’ve supported with our vessels and accompanying personnel at UK wind farms include:
- Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm
- Sofia Offshore Wind Farm
- Norfolk Vanguard and Boreas Offshore Wind Farm
