The latest developments in Vessel, Foundation and Turbine Technology, Environmental Conditions, Risk Management and Safety Policy are among the topics to be discussed at the two-day event.

The Offshore Wind Energy 2011 Conference presents an exquisite occasion for SGS Renewable Energy to showcase its wide portfolio of services for the renewable energy sector and meet potential business partners.

Based on the extensive experience and competence of SGS in the Risk Management sector, Jale will focus on how unmanaged risk exposure puts a wind farm project at risk of not achieving Health, Safety and Environmental Management (HSE), cost, schedule and technical performance targets. Among the topics to be discussed will be risk identification, quantification, prioritization, mitigation and analysis as well as assessment of contingency requirements of project logistics. Furthermore, Jale Cairney will talk about the overall impact of Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) and Technical Risk Analysis (TRA) for project logistics as well as the importance of early identification and management of risks facilities to keep a project on track.

Visitors will be welcome to discuss any aspect of the SGS services for the renewable energy sector with SGS experts.
