CASE STUDY
Offshore Wind Farm Structural Inspection Work
Project Summary
To provide support to a high profile survey contractor where the commercial tendering team was bidding for structural inspection work as part of a multi-year framework agreement on a recognised Offshore Wind Farm.
The Challenge
- Financial success of a multi-year framework agreement that was dependent on the appropriateness of the structural inspection element
- A technical qualification of the provided ITT demonstrated both a flawed scope and where significant clarifications were required to enable an accurate bid to be generated
- A compilation of the clarifications with responses received from the end client incorporated into the technical calculations.
The Solution
- The submission of a comprehensive technical proposal comprising fully timed schedule, tooling, methodology, personnel and numbers along with key deliverables required
- The presentation of optional complementary technologies providing Norton’s client with the opportunity to incorporate a progressive technological advantage, and demonstrating a progressive and modern suite of solutions over and above competing bids
- A body of work cited as best practice by Norton’s client and where feedback from the end client quoted campaign timings, calculations and technical method statements as passing some of the highest levels of required scrutiny.
