Explore the full potential of offshore wind projects with one trusted partner
TÜV SÜD and Tractebel DOC Offshore GmbH are partnering to work towards a common goal: a carbon-neutral future. With our international, independent and multidisciplinary expertise, we provide integrated and customised inspection, certification and advisory services, alongside innovative solutions for your offshore wind projects.
Offshore wind energy is a crucial pillar of the energy transition. However, companies that want to benefit from the enormous potential of offshore wind energy require specialist skills to construct and operate projects in a maritime environment. The planning process, including geotechnical and geophysical surveys, as well as environmental studies, presents unique challenges and places high demands on the project team. In addition, each permitting process for offshore wind farms is individual, complex and challenging for different engineering disciplines.
Experience and expertise are undeniably essential to realising offshore wind projects successfully. In particular, the early involvement of testing, inspection and certification (TIC) and offshore experts can optimise project development, project planning, interfaces and logistical processes, as well as avoid additional costs, delays and failing approval processes during project execution.
The partnership between TÜV SÜD and Tractebel DOC was established to meet customers' challenges by creating a single point of contact that combines TÜV SÜD’s TIC know-how, state-of-the-art consulting and years of experience, with Tractebel DOC’s comprehensive know-how in maritime operations and offshore construction.
"At TÜV SÜD, we are the trusted partner of choice for many customers in the energy sector. With our new partnership with Tractebel DOC, we can support customers to successfully develop projects in the offshore wind sector and bridge competence or know-how gaps with confidence. For us, this means we can have an impact on the scale-up of new renewable energy sources and ensure they are safe and efficient." – Thore Lapp, Business Unit Manager Green Energy & Sustainability.
Consultancy and certification from one Single Point of contact
