✏️ In a new article for Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Dr Kaloyana Kostova PhD CEng FICE, engineering capability lead for structural engineering, writes that delivering a huge pipeline of #offshorewind projects requires clear vision and commitment. ⚖️ This includes considering how engineers can strike a balance between best practices from cost-intensive innovation in #design and #manufacturing with standardised construction. This balance could be the answer to low-risk, cost-effective components essential for advancing offshore wind #energy.
