Owner’s Engineer Services for Renewable Energy
Project management for onshore & offshore wind farms, solar power plants, wave & tidal arrays
Contracting and constructing renewable energy projects requires a thorough and professional approach to the management of design, contracting, construction monitoring and quality assurance, as well as rigorous contract administration. This in turn will minimise risks and maximise return on your investment.
TÜV SÜD’s experts provide project management and quality assurance support during all stages of the asset lifecycle as an owner’s engineer. We support owners by either taking on a defined role, such as a technical reviewer, or by being fully involved in all aspects of the project.
