Enabling Ørsted’s Vision Through People Power

The Challenge: Complex and Time-Critical Offshore Wind Maintenance

As a global leader in renewable energy, Ørsted required a reliable and experienced partner to support the delivery of complex Operations & Maintenance (O&M) campaigns across its offshore wind assets in Europe. These campaigns involved high-risk, high-value tasks, including Major Component Exchanges (MCE), retrofits, annual servicing, and end-of-warranty (EoW) inspections. Atlas NextWave was selected to provide a wide range of Technical and Specialised Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) services that demanded both technical excellence and strict compliance with safety and regulatory standards. 

Our Creative People Solution

Atlas NextWave mobilised a highly skilled and flexible workforce to support Ørsted across Europe, delivering a wide range of technical and specialist services to maintain offshore wind assets efficiently and safely. Working across Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, we provided:

• Authorised Technicians (ATs) for End-of-Warranty (EoW) campaigns, conducting walkdowns and technical inspections on turbines and during jack-up operations.
• Heavy Lift Technicians and Lifting Supervisors for full-scope Major Component Exchange (MCE) campaigns and ad hoc operations, including gearbox and generator exchanges.
• Client Representatives for SWA jack-up operations, blade repairs, and retrofit campaigns.
• Site Service Support, including retrofits, scheduled servicing, hydraulic component exchanges, bolt tensioning, and turbine component repairs.
• Endoscopic Inspections of critical nacelle components such as planetary gears, HSS bearings, and roller systems.
• Main Bearing Inspections, specifically for SGRE DD6.0 turbines, identifying abnormalities and leakages.
• Generator Inspections on Siemens and Vestas turbines to detect stator/rotor issues and ensure optimal performance.

Our end-to-end service also included logistics coordination, compliance management, and training aligned with local safety standards. This ensured seamless execution of all activities and a strong track record of performance and reliability in supporting Ørsted’s O&M operations.

The Outcome: Over 25,000+ Workdays Recorded and Ongoing Support

Atlas NextWave continues to support Ørsted’s O&M campaigns, having already logged over 25,000 workdays across various European sites. Our ability to deliver on-time, compliant, and technically sound workforce solutions has directly contributed to Ørsted’s operational efficiency and asset longevity.

This long-term collaboration reflects Atlas NextWave’s capability to provide tailored offshore wind staffing solutions that meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and reliability.
