INTRODUCTION
The weather and its effect on our industry
In a former lifetime my professional career was very much dependent on the weather conditions which prevailed at the time. It is therefore a very interesting subject to focus on within this edition – although my previous profession was very different to that of today I can understand completely why the weather massively impacts on the work which we do… particularly offshore!
Which brings me to weather onshore and the importance of weather forecasting. We have featured The Met Office on numerous occasions in previous editions however they taken the lead within this edition and head up our Onshore O & M feature, a fascinating insight I hope you will agree.
OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE… • Hydraulics & Alternatives • Onshore Operations & Maintenance • Life Extension of Windfarms • Global Offshore Wind 2016 Preview • Marine Co-Ordination • Marine Ordnance • Survey Vessels • Workboats
