SHE risk management
By applying our risk based methods, in-depth industry insight and advanced software tools, we ensure that clients’ SHE threats are identified and risks are managed in a cost-effective manner.
Verification
DNV’s verification services provide expert assistance in planning, designing, building, operating as well as de-commissioning offshore constructions and plants.
Offshore classification
The aim of our classification services is to assure owners, authorities and other stakeholders that the facility comply with classification rules and requirements.
Asset risk management
DNV can help you ask the right questions to uncover real performance, compare this with industry best practices and identify improvement opportunities.
World class standards
DNV has been leading involvement in formal standardisation, through IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and European and national standards bodies. From this DNV takes the initiatives by developing DNV’s own standards in order to facilitate the use of the international standards.
Project certification
More and more wind farms are now being situated offshore, where winds are stronger and the turbines present less of an issue in terms of visual interference with surrounding landscape. Investors require guidance in the location of their installation, this is where DNV are the leaders.
Type certification
Since the early start of the wind turbine industry in the ‘80s independent certification by third parties has played an important role to minimise the number of errors in design and to provide confidence between the manufacturers, developers, owners, finance, insurance and the authorities.
Project risk management
With new projects come new risks and opportunities. DNV is acknowledged as a world leader in managing the risk of capital investments in a wide range of industries, including the onshore and offshore wind industry.
SHE risk management
DNV works with you to develop, implement, maintain and continuously improve best practices in safety, health and the environment (SHE) risk management.
Ship collision
If a ship collides with an offshore wind turbine installation, the consequences have economic, safety, and environmental ramifications. Authorities usually require analysis of related risks and identification of necessary risk reduction measures.
