Production monitoring for offshore wind farms

Component safety starts during production — with 8.2 offshore experience

Offshore wind energy projects place the highest demands on manufacturing quality — because corrections on the high seas are cost-intensive, complex and time-critical. The basis for successful plant operation is therefore already laid at the plant.

8.2 accompanies your offshore projects with independent production monitoring — from the evaluation of individual components to final approval before sea transport. We test with technical depth, systematically and locally at manufacturers and suppliers.
