When the wind blows: making the most of opportunities to achieve repeatable and profitable sales

为了响应苏格兰可再生能源公司（SPR）举办的创新竞赛，Cedeco承包商有限公司的Jacqueline Morrison正在领导一种机械灌浆替代品的开发，Cedeco最终赢得了这场竞赛。Jacqueline获得了IUK SMART和OWGP的资助，在与Atkins Ltd， SPR和海上可再生能源弹射器（OREC）合作的同时，领导了一系列可行性研究。杰奎琳也是2019年、2020年投资女性奖的决赛选手。正在开发的解决方案是一种机械夹持器，以取代海上风力涡轮机夹套基础内的灌浆。虽然灌浆一直是海上基础的首选，但风力也提出了新的挑战。Cedeco的解决方案减少了对灌浆的需求，减少了海上人员和船只的需求，从而减少了风电开发商的安装时间和成本。该解决方案支持净零目标，并在生命周期结束时提供高品质的回收材料。

Jacqueline Morrison, Cedeco Contractors Ltd, is leading the development of a mechanical alternative to grout, in response to an innovation competition held by ScottishPower Renewables (SPR), a competition which Cedeco ultimately won. Jacqueline, having secured both IUK SMART and OWGP funding is leading a number of feasibility studies while working in collaboration with Atkins Ltd, SPR and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (OREC). Jacqueline is also a finalist of the Investing Women awards 2019, 2020\.The solution under development is a mechanical gripper to replace grout within the jacket foundations of an offshore wind turbine. While grout has been the go-to for offshore foundations wind is presenting new challenges. The Cedeco solution cuts the time and cost of installation for wind developers by removing the need for grout and having less people and vessels required at sea. The solution supports net Zero ambitions and at the end of life offers a high grade material for recycling.
