Integrated offshore technology

Thales instruments equipped early as 2005 and 2006 the Amrumbank West and Arkona Becken measurement masts as first commercial measuring stations for German offshore wind energy with the whole energy supply, measurement and data technology above, on and under water as well as the electronics for the extensive measurements. Our power supply systems, the platform server, safety engineering and data transfer have been running on Fino3 since the middle of 2009.

We have many years of experience offshore and proven technology for the planning, equipping, supply, commissioning and maintenance of measurement technology. Regardless of whether it is for studying weather, sea or seabed data.

We have developed sonar transponders for wind power turbines especially for the German Baltic Sea and North Sea according to the requirements of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) and Federal Army. These transmitters and receivers of underwater acoustics serve as an acoustic warning against collisions for submarines and at the same time they are designed in a waythat the warning signals do not damage the hearing of protected porpoises.

By combining the whole range of technology within our company we were able to establish unique knowledge and skills which guarantee our customers security. The key to operations is the measurement and control technology developed by us which is the link between all components of a complex measuring system.

Our range of service:

  • Planning and provision of equipment for all measurements

  • Wind measurements according to IEC61400-12

  • Underwater measurements (stream, wave, tide, scour etc.)

  • Strain gauge, acceleration and inclination measurements of the structure

  • Safety technology for marine and flight safety

  • Low-maintenance power supply (solar, wind, diesel)

  • Data transfer by short-wave and satellite

  • Condition monitoring of the whole plant

  • Maintenance by trained offshore staff

  • Equipping and delivery of offshore measurement containers
