Despite its size, the installation concept for Hornsea 1 didn’t differ from smaller wind farm and our original expectation was the same in terms of the engineering and MWS challenges. Nevertheless some very interesting challenges existed; mainly those due to the long duration of the project (10 months) and the regular re-use of seafastening and grillage structures in a high load environment. The project was a great example of cooperation, involving personnel from all the European offices. The SSA’s for Bold Tern were undertaken by James Adcock and his team in London, the MWS scope was run from , the engineering approvals for the fatigue monitoring programs given by Jonny Logan, the tower displacement monitoring approvals by Paul Goodwin and the day to day MWS project management by

Essentially the MWS scope was redefined to include approval of an ongoing R&D program which had to be proven during installation.

GLOBAL MARITIME GLOBAL The floating solar pilot plant consists of several floating units, each with solar panels mounted on top. The floating substructures are manufactured using standard components from other industries such as aquafarming in order to maintain a low cost level. The units are connected and moored using a combination of chain, fibre rope and buoys.

Previously, floating solar plants have typically been installed on lakes or artificial basins. In this project, the location will be at sea, which increases the requirements for the plant to withstand wave loads. An important part of the design phase has therefore been to verify the plant

GM NEWSLETTER 2019 HSEQ 07 END OF YEAR HSEQ BY HANNAH CRUTCHLEY

There has been many positive HSEQ improvements throughout 2019, including the implementation of the Global SharePoint BMS site and NetSuite which allows global sharing of HSEQ Cases (including the new Lessons Learnt report). Well done to all of the offices which have embraced the HSEQ reporting system, especially Houston!

In 2019, the Group also migrated to ISO 45001:2018 replacing OHSAS 18001 which is structured on the ISO 9001 series, including a focus on Top Management Commitment and Risk Management.

A reminder for everyone, during the Christmas and New Year holidays, when we’re relaxing and having fun with our GLOBAL MARITIME GLOBAL loved ones, the risk of accidents and injuries increases. Though we’re off work and school-related duties, we start rushing, stressing, shopping and attending social engagements; we’re confronted with more road congestion; we tend to eat and drink to excess; and we’re more exposed to the dangers lurking in our homes. Please remember to be vigilant and I wish you all a happy and Safe Christmas!

Here are some Safety tips to remember during this period:
