Offshore Wind Insights: Marketing, Technical Content & More

This document is a practical checklist for Offshore Client Representatives, focusing on Geotechnical Vessel Mobilization and HSE Vessel Inspection prior to offshore survey work. It is a comprehensive checklist, methodically outlining key aspects to be considered prior to vessel mobilization. The checklist includes essential topics like Safety & Emergency Management, Employee Consultation, Incident Reporting, Fire Fighting Equipment, and Preparation for Cone Penetration Testing. It also covers the organization of Working Areas, General Housekeeping, and various Miscellaneous aspects, ensuring all critical safety and operational factors are addressed. The document serves as a very practical example, providing an initial idea of the essential considerations for practical elements crucial prior to vessel mobilization.

The materials provided are a valuable and practical example of some digital data one can expect from laboratory testing after an initial offshore geotechnical survey. The list includes various test types such as consolidation, density, Vane Tests, triaxial stress tests, shear box, Geotech chemistry etc., all essential for understanding sub-surface conditions for specific soils. An accompanying AGS 4.1 guidance document offers a detailed explanation of the data requirements and preferred presentation methods. This combination of practical Excel examples and guidance serves as an instructional tool, illustrating how to properly receive and interpret digital data from laboratory tests, aligned for example with the AGS4-v-4.1.1-2022 standards, for educational and practical application in geotechnical analysis. This data is instrumental for engineers and geoscientists in predicting geotechnical behaviour, which informs the design and stability of offshore structures.
