Day 3 - Friday 30 September - Post-Event Workshop

Wind Farm CableInstallation and Protection Workshop How can geotechnical & operational know-howdefine successful solutions to wind farm cableinstallation & protection projects?09:00-12:30 (Registration at 08:30)

Stephen Wilson, Business Development Manager Renewables, CTC Marine

Scott Gooding, Lead Geotechnical Engineer, CTC Marine

Sam Taylor, Project Engineer, CTC Marine

Run in an open and informal manner to encourage discussions and questions, this workshop will aim to improve attendee's understanding ofhow to design for cable installation, reduce risks and gain a geotechnical insight into the `art' of cable burial.

Key themes will be explained in a clear manner, enabling you to gain a better understanding of the risks, developments and lessons learnedfrom cable installation. You will discover how these factors interlink and gain the knowledge required to ensure the future success of yourprojects in a time-effective way.

As offshore wind farm construction moves to a new installation level, challenges are being raised to the current methods of wind farm arrayand export cable installation. It is imperative that wind farms are designed for installation, as well as the operational and maintenance phase.

Lessons learned from past array cable installation projects •Safety and operational constraints for personnel transfer •Cable pull-ins – Equipment – Personnel – Tower preparation – Interface design •The use of Cable Protection Systems (CPS)

Export cable installation: lessons learned fromsuccessful investment •Shore pull in solutions •Working in shallow water using the correct tools •Cable handling •Environmental constraints •Managing interface with the public

Future developments for operational improvements:tools, vessels and people Geotechnical assessments forwind farms •How to assess the survey data •The right tools for the job – Ploughing – Jetting – Mechanical cutting – Pre-cut trenching solutions •The Burial Protection Index: what is this and how does it

manage risk and ensure cost effective cable protection? •Considerations for the cable route planning

Risk management: understanding the pitfalls in planningand budgeting cable installation •The procurement process • Integrated project planning •Reviewing geotechnical and weather risk •Budget estimating: how to reduce industry costs for cable

installation and protection

Dear Colleague,

The Government's recent announcement of a significant offshore wind expansion published in the 'UK RenewableEnergy Roadmap' provides has been largely welcomed by the industry. In turn, it provides us (the industry) with achallenge- to reduce the levelised cost of energy to the consumer.

This is an exciting and welcome challenge and one that I am sure most of us in the industry will embrace. There aremany elements to this, relating to all parts of the supply chain and throughout the life cycle of each project. One keyarea (sometimes overlooked) is cabling. It has been estimated that submarine cable laying accounts for between 7-10% of the capital cost of the windfarm development, yet submarine cable repairs account for over 70% of all insuranceclaims on installed offshore windfarms! With major expansion plans on the horizon, these statistics highlight the urgentneed for the industry to learn from their experiences on previous installations, and come together to develop acoordinated best practice approach going forward.

Windpower Monthly’s Offshore Cable Installation and Maintenance Forum will focus on the urgent actions required toreassure investors in offshore wind power that the cable installation segment of the project can be delivered to timeand to a technically high standard with the aim of ensuring maximum asset life. Join myself and key industry expertsfrom companies such as ABB, The Carbon Trust, Global Marine Systems, RES Offshore and GL Garrard Hassan todiscuss and debate the serious challenges facing submarine cable installation projects and discover solutions to theproblems you face across the areas of route survey and engineering, vessels and equipment, cable protection, securityof supply and integrated project planning.

To reduce the risk of expensive downtime the industry urgently needs to discuss what plans should be developed forstrategically located maintenance and repair facilities to enable cable repairs to be carried out in a cost efficient andtimely manner. Has the time come for windfarm owners to come together and share maintenance and repair resourcesrather than attempt to go it alone and risk long periods of downtime and revenue loss?

I look forward to seeing you in September at what promises to be the must attend event of the year for stakeholdersseeking best practice technical solutions to the problems faced during submarine cable installation projects.
