EAGE and the Society for Underwater Technology (via their interest group on Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics; OSIG) are jointly planning a global series titled EAGE/SUT Workshop on “Integrated Site Characterization for Offshore Wind”. The purpose of this workshop series is to improve integration of geo-disciplines in delivering Site Characterisation for Offshore Wind.

The importance of multi-disciplinary integration to build strong ground models for the offshore wind industry is increasingly evident, particularly when faced with complex geo-engineering challenges. The opportunity is to improve the strength of this integration, which requires cross-disciplinary comprehension and collaboration. 

This is the first of a series of workshops which will be scheduled across Asia Pacific where offshore wind is being developed. 

The workshops aim to reach regional audiences and address specific geo-engineering challenges from region to region. The workshops also include a non-technical component as the state of the business can vary between countries with very different regulatory and investment environments.

The workshop should be of equal interest to developers, contractors, consultants, and academics.
