Design verification is a critical part of project development and plays an important role in maintaining incident-free operations, according to Rain Byars, ABS Group Principal Engineer and Project Manager for Block Island. “ABS Group’s independent assessment of the design, fabrication, and installation of the wind farm provided lessons learned in understanding offshore wind project risk,” she says. “These insights will contribute to improving the project development process.”

The Company also provided an offshore wind inspection safety and risk assessment to the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement with recommendations as to how to promote safer, more reliable wind inspection activities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.
