The Handbook of Scour and Cable Protection Methods is the result of a multi-year research program performed as a Joint Industry Project with the contribution of over 20 industrial partners. This project was initiated from the observation that no good and generically applicable design formulae and guidelines exist to protect offshore structures against scour. Instead, there are various existing methods and concepts that lack a sound basis for design. Different parties apply different solutions against scour around the support structure with varying degrees of success.

In this webinar hosted by NYSERDA, Mary Harvey and Cormac Dineen with Carbon Trust will discuss the emissions benefits of offshore wind compared to traditional sources of electricity, methods of calculating carbon footprint, and the importance of data in reaching a net zero offshore wind industry.

After the Waterfront Conference (www.waterfrontalliance.org/waterfront-conference), offshore wind professionals are encouraged to gather at the nearby Clinton Hall bar to continue networking and enjoy New York City in spring. Conference attendance is not required to attend the OSW Drinks event.

Now in its 18th year, the Waterfront Conference continues to be the premier forum for discussion, collaboration, and innovative strategy development for the New York-New Jersey region and the nation at large. More than 600 participants, including policymakers, community leaders, scientists, engineers, architects, academics, and environmental advocates, as well as professionals from labor, real estate, insurance, and financial services will take part. The conference features several events on maritime activities and wind energy generation, including a networking event for offshore wind industry professionals.

The spotlight has never shined brighter on clean energy project siting and permitting. While clean energy projects are pouring into the pipeline, the industry is experiencing unprecedented delays across the country. Getting projects off the ground is becoming more and more challenging. At ACP’s expanded Siting & Permitting Conference, previously known as the Siting & Environmental Compliance Conference, industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders convene to collaborate on challenges, best practices and solutions.

There are a significant number of entry points into the offshore wind market. From manufacturing to marketing, there is an urgent need for new businesses in the supply chain. Offshore wind 101 is a launching point for your exploration of working in the industry. Register to watch the recording.
