Alastair Gadney, projects director for GEV Group, says of the trial: “With consent recently announced for the development of Galloper Offshore Wind Farm and construction for the East Anglia ONE project planned to progress in 2017, innovations within the wind sector are increasingly important. Our Habitat plays a key role in facilitating O&M operations in this rapidly developing industry, whilst providing cost-saving benefits which are vital throughout the entire supply chain." “These trials are a huge leap forward in not only reinforcing the concept of the Habitat, but also proving how it can be applied to a range of turbine and access platform sizes. We are also exploring different configurations of the Habitat, from a simple wind break to a more complete waterproof solution.” The trials also enabled GEV technicians to test the company’s bespoke blade maintenance App, I-RIS (Intuitive Reporting and Inspection System).
GEV comprises of four main divisions focusing on offshore energy, including rotor blade repair and maintenance for the offshore wind sector. They have recently secured a minority investment of £5.4 million from Maven Capital Partners with the help JDC, a Norwich based corporate finance firm.
