13:10 Panel and Peers - Digitalizing Offshore Installation – Moving from manual planning and driving a Cultural Shift

Offshore installation remains one of the most complex phases in wind farm development, yet digitalization is lagging. While technology exists, the challenge is cultural too: shifting from a project-by-project mindset to a collaborative approach that embraces data sharing, standardization, and continuous improvement. Planning frequently relies on fragmented or manual tools, monitoring capabilities remain limited, and knowledge transfer between projects is insufficient.

How can the industry overcome resistance to change and adopt workflows that improve efficiency, safety, and transparency? This panel will explore technical gaps, cultural barriers, and practical steps toward true digitalization in offshore installation.

• Why do spreadsheets still dominate offshore installation planning? What technical and cultural obstacles prevent adoption of integrated digital solutions?

• How can real-time process monitoring, AI and data-driven decision-making improve safety, efficiency, and cost control?

• How do we overcome the “project mindset” and ensure knowledge retention?

What role does cultural change play in enabling standardization and back loop communication?

17:15 Deep Dive A: Ground Investigation for Floating and Fixed Bottom Wind Turbines - Uncertainties, Ground Modelling and Early Stage Design Decisions

• State of the art approaches to site investigation and ground modelling for floating and fixed bottom wind projects

• Key sources of uncertainty and their impact on ground models and foundation design

• Efficiency, risk and challenges in ground investigation, with a focus on floating wind

This workshop provides participants with an overview on current industry practice on ground investigation and ground modelling for floating and fixedbottom wind turbine projects. You will examine key sources of uncertainty in geophysical and geotechnical investigations and how these uncertainties propagate into ground models and foundation design, and how new techniques can be used to disassociate site investigation from the critical path of the projects. In the discussion we will focus on the implications for design decisions, risk and uncertainty, particularly in the context

of deepwater and floating wind developments. Participants will gain insights into

alternative investigation and modelling strategies and how these can be evaluated

and applied to their own projectspecific ground conditions.
