Offshore wind
Commissioning software for scopes that repeat a hundred times over open water.
An offshore wind farm is the same commissioning scope executed across many near-identical assets, in a place with no reliable connectivity and a very short weather window. That combination is what the system has to be built for.

The problem
Repetition plus poor connectivity plus weather windows.
Every turbine needs the same evidence, technicians are offshore with no signal, and the transfer window is measured in hours. Paper-based execution loses time exactly where there is none to lose.
The same forms, hundreds of times
Identical checksheets are recreated per asset, and consolidating them into fleet-level progress is a manual job every week.
No connectivity at the point of work
Technicians work inside nacelles and substations where cloud tools simply do not reach.
Short windows, expensive vessels
A return trip for a missed signature or an unrecorded defect costs a vessel day, not an afternoon.
Fleet status is opaque
Which turbines are actually ready for energisation and takeover is reconstructed from several trackers.
What you get
Templated once, executed across the fleet.
Define the record set for one turbine and apply it across every asset, then track completion by turbine, string and substation.
Repeatable ITR templates
One checksheet definition applied across every turbine, with results tracked per asset.
Learn moreOffline tablet execution
Full record completion inside a nacelle with no signal, synced on return to vessel or shore.
Learn moreAsset register by string
Turbines, strings, array cables and substations modelled as the systems they actually are.
Learn morePunch with photos
Defects captured at the asset with images, categorised by whether they block energisation.
Learn morePre-energisation walkdowns
Structured inspections per asset before energisation, with punch raised from the walk.
Learn moreTakeover certificates
Per-turbine and per-string completion certificates issued against proven records.
Learn moreHow it runs
One template, many assets.
- 01
Define once
Build the record set for a single turbine type and substation scope.
- 02
Apply across the fleet
Instantiate the same structure per asset so every turbine carries identical evidence.
- 03
Execute offshore
Technicians complete records and raise punch offline on tablet during the window.
- 04
Track to takeover
Fleet-level readiness by turbine and string, with certificates issued as each is proven.
Side by side
Paper offshore versus offline digital.
The decisive factor offshore is whether a record can be completed and proven without a connection and without a second trip.
| Aspect | Paper and scans | Deskely |
|---|---|---|
| Execution offshore | Paper packs carried out and scanned back onshore. | Tablet records completed offline, synced on return. |
| Fleet progress | Consolidated manually from per-turbine files. | Rolled up automatically by turbine and string. |
| Missed evidence | Discovered onshore, costing a return trip. | Mandatory fields flagged before the technician leaves the asset. |
| Defect capture | Notes and phone photos reconciled later. | Raised at the asset with photos attached to the record. |
| Takeover pack | Assembled per turbine at the end. | Complete per asset as soon as the records are signed. |

Project types
The same completions model, from a monopile to a converter station.
What changes between wind scopes is the shape of the asset breakdown, the gate that matters and who signs. The record types, the certification ladder and the audit trail behind them do not.
Fixed-bottom wind farms
A fixed-bottom offshore wind farm is one record set executed across every monopile, transition piece, tower, nacelle and blade set in the array. Deskely defines that record set once, instantiates it per asset, and reports readiness by turbine, string and array.
See this scope in detailFloating offshore wind
Floating wind moves the assembly work back to the quayside and adds a hull, a mooring spread and a dynamic cable to the completions scope. Deskely keeps the quayside evidence attached to the unit through tow-out, hook-up and energisation.
See this scope in detailOffshore substations and platforms
An offshore substation is a small process platform with switchgear instead of separators: transformers, GIS, protection, auxiliary power, HVAC, fire and gas and marine systems. It is commissioned like a topsides scope and it gates the entire wind farm.
See this scope in detailArray and export cables
Cables are installed by a marine spread that demobilises quickly, and tested by specialists in stages. Deskely holds the load-out, lay, burial, pull-in, termination and testing evidence against the section it belongs to, so acceptance is a query rather than an archive search.
See this scope in detailHVDC converter stations
HVDC converter stations carry valve halls, cooling systems, control and protection, harmonic filters and auxiliary plant, tested in a sequence that runs for years. Deskely keeps every subsystem, FAT, SAT and system test under one register the TSO can audit.
See this scope in detailOnshore substations and grid connection
Landfall, onshore cable route, the onshore substation and the point of connection are usually delivered by different contractors against a grid connection date that cannot move. Deskely holds the whole onshore chain in one register with the connection conditions as gates.
See this scope in detailTurbine installation and pre-assembly campaigns
An installation campaign is a logistics problem with an evidence problem attached: components staged at a marshalling port, lifted by a vessel in a weather window, and mechanically completed by crews who are already on the next asset. Deskely keeps the record with the component.
See this scope in detailTakeover, warranty and major component replacement
After takeover, the same register carries end-of-warranty inspections, defect claims and major component replacement campaigns. Deskely keeps the construction evidence and the operating evidence in one place, which is what makes a warranty claim provable.
See this scope in detailOnshore wind farms
Onshore wind has the same repeated record set as offshore, spread across a site with civils, collector cabling, a substation and increasingly a battery system. Deskely templates the turbine record set and gates energisation on evidence.
