Intelligent Inspections for Offshore Wind & Energy Platforms

Solution

Offshore wind farms and energy platforms are exposed to harsh marine environments: salt, moisture, waves, remote locations, high safety risk, and limited access. Traditional inspections (manually, via rope access or crew transfers) are costly, risky, and often unable to cover submerged or hard-to-reach structures. Failures such as corrosion, structural fatigue, joint or weld degradation can go unnoticed until they cause serious risk or downtime.

SkyeBase provides intelligent inspection services tailored for offshore wind & energy platforms that integrate drones and robotics, ROVs, visual, thermal and UT measurement sensors and AI-based analytics. From nacelles, blades, tower external surfaces and offshore platforms, we map and monitor structural integrity, detect corrosion, cracks, delamination and assess materials under stress. All data is captured, processed, visualised in 3D or via virtual twin models, and delivered in clear, actionable format.

  1. Assessment & Planning
    Identify assets (tower, blades, platforms), environmental constraints, access and safety requirements; define sensor types needed.
  2. Deployment of Inspection Tools
    Use aerial drones and robots where needed; collect visual, thermal, acoustic, ultrasonic, multispectral data.
  3. Data Capture & Integration
    Combine imagery, scans into unified datasets; build models and virtual twins tracking structure over time.
  4. AI & Structural Analysis
    Automated detection of anomalies: corrosion, cracks, weld faults, material fatigue; model deformation; trend analysis.
  5. Reporting & Recommendations
    Deliver comprehensive inspection report with identified issues, risk ratings, remedial suggestions, cost-benefit, maintenance plan.
  • Increased safety: reduce risk to personnel, less need for risky manual or rope access work.
  • Earlier detection of damage or weakening structure → avoid catastrophic failure.
  • Cost savings through more precise, predictive maintenance.
  • Enhanced asset lifespan and performance.
  • Better compliance with offshore & environmental regulations; data-driven decision making.
  • Structural Integrity Assured over lifecycle despite marine exposure.
  • Operational Continuity: fewer surprises, fewer emergency repairs.
  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership, since interventions are timely and based on real data.
  • Regulatory & Stakeholder Confidence, with documented health checks and risk management.
  • Environmental Risk Mitigated by avoiding leaks, corrosion-induced failures.
