SGS, the world´s leading inspection, verification, testing and
certification company, will present its wide range of services for
the wind energy sector with special focus on its Owner’s
Representative Services at the Delphi International Renewable
Energy Conference 2010.
Today the world’s energy supply is largely based on fossil fuels
and nuclear power. These sources of energy are increasingly
limited and have proven to be contributors to environmental
problems. Therefore, companies have now become aware of
the urgent need to concentrate on the development of
renewable energy sources and the use of energy efficient
technologies.
DIREC 2010 is an international platform for government, private
sector and civil society leaders to jointly address the goal of
advancing renewable energy. The conference provides an
interactive forum to discuss and exchange visions, experience
and solutions for accelerating the global scale-up of renewable
energy.
As the risk involved in wind farm projects increases as the
height, weight and size are now much larger, services such as
Owner’s Representative Services are becoming more important
for wind farm owners. For this reason, SGS, the world’s leading
inspection, verification, testing and certification company, will be
demonstrating its wide range of Owner’s Representative
Services for the wind energy sector which ensure that the
contractor meets all required and agreed conditions in terms of:
• Technical parameters
• Quality of equipment and works
• Scheduled time
• Contract price
SGS Owner’s Representative Services provide the wind farm
project owner with a solution which allows for efficient and
complete monitoring of project work progress by limiting the
participation of the owner’s own employees to overall
supervision and releasing of payments only. The range of
Owner’s Representative Services by SGS Renewable Energy
includes services such as inspection of materials, Quality
Control and Quality Assurance during civil foundation and
electrical installations, Construction Supervision, Expediting,
Witness Testing at manufacturing end and on-site as well as
Commissioning Supervision.
In order to discuss any questions regarding the risks
associated with wind farm construction as well as the most
appropriate services for risk mitigation and risk management,
attendees are welcome to visit SGS at booth no. W-99 in Hall 5.
