Offshore wind is complex with a large number of interfaces across the project lifecycle. From foreshore licences to offshore engineering, onshore port side infrastructure to extensive electrical design and grid capacity to turbine selection, Jennings O’Donovan have an extensive offering and can cater to Clients requirements with a personal touch. There is no single way to build and operate an offshore wind farm and much depends on the site-specific conditions. Projects vary considerably in their size and their distance from shore and this brings different opportunities and challenges to each wind farm.

The company have developed offshore wind supply chain links and sub-consultant partners to provide broad expertise. Offshore wind is a global industry but it is vitally important that Irish and local supply chains are used at all stages of offshore wind development. Jennings O’Donovan aims to fulfil this requirement on all projects as far as is possible. The company has developed relationships with Irish Marine Management Companies, Geotechnical and Marine Design Engineers, Site Investigation Contractors, Typographic Surveyors and Electrical Designers amongst others.

Jennings O’Donovan are ready for the transition to greater offshore wind powering our homes and businesses and continue to train and upskill staff with continual professional development in this area. We would love to hear from you if you are at any stage of your offshore project and have no doubt we can assist in developing a successful project. We can offer and cater all of the services outlined above and those listed on our website along with others at the Clients request.
