INTRODUCTION
A GR
In a changing world, demand for electricity developed from renewable sources of energy continues to increase. Windpower is at the forefront of this initiative, and the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, is in prime position globally to take advantage.
The focus in the coming years will be on offshore wind energy generation, which has the potential to vastly outstrip its onshore rival through the construction of wind farms. The Irish Sea is of leading importance for such development, and consequently, Northern Ireland which it borders is also under sharp focus.
MANUFACTURED AND EXISTING STRUCTURE SUPPORT Whether in supporting the onshore manufacture of towers, platforms and modules, their installation offshore or refurbishment of existing offshore assets, work in the offshore wind farm sector requires the technical expertise provided by Pyeroy.
SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY They have successfully delivered access and corrosion protection services to many of the existing offshore wind farm facilities as well as new build.
This work has included meeting the rigorous technical demands associated with the successful application of protective coatings, insulation, scaffolding and specialist access services in what can be extremely hostile environments which have significant logistical challenges.
As well as similar work in other offshore and onshore facilities in the Oil and Gas sector.
Pyeroy looks forward to providing its support services from strategically located regional facilities in Belfast, Aberdeen, Rosyth, Glasgow, Gateshead, Teesside, Birkenhead, Lowestoft, London and Plymouth to all existing and new offshore wind farm facilities in the future as this sector develops and continues to go from strength to strength.

THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND CLIMATE OF NORTHERN IRELAND Northern Ireland is a region of quite complex geography, with areas of shallow, hilly terrain along the coastal fringes such as the Antrim Plateau in the Northeast, and the Mourne Mountains in the Southeast, encircling a lower-lying body of water at Lough Neagh in its centre. It is one of the windiest countries in Europe, with northern parts in particular frequently buffeted by strong westerly or south- westerly winds from the North Atlantic Ocean.
The climate is temperate, moderated to a large extent by both the North Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Irish Sea to the east. Precipitation is regulated by both terrain and distance from the North Atlantic, with low-lying, eastern locations staying driest and areas of high ground in the west and northwest recording the highest rainfall totals each year. Likewise, sheltered, eastern coastal districts enjoy the sunniest conditions, although on the whole the country is cloudier than England, both due to its proximity to the North Atlantic, and its hilly terrain.
