DHI contributes to the development of offshore wind farms and marine renewable energy installations worldwide. We have more than fifteen years of experience as a provider of integrated services within this field. This experience knowledge is turned into solutions for our clients.

Offshore wind farms are exposed to a harsh environment. A thorough understanding of the metocean conditions enables qualified decisions on structural design and project feasiblity to be made. This understanding is also central in establishing the implications, which man-made constructions may have on the surroundings.

In the last decade, the massive development of offshore wind farms has provided substantial knowledge with regard to the potential impacts of marine facilities on species and habitats. This knowledge has changed the scope of environmental impact assessment from a broad scaled approach to a more focused investigation strategy. Particularly birds and marine mammals are vulnerable to the construction and operational phase of offshore wind farms.
