Offshore wind, a sustainable energy model of the highest technical complexity

2021 is the year of relaunch. The year to consolidate new economic models with new production systems. The year to apply what was learned in the previous annus horribilis and emerge stronger.

All continental institutions agree that all possible resources (economic, technical, and human) must be invested to avoid the major problems of our time: environmental pollution and climate change. And it must be done by generating quality employment and through high value-added production models.

In this scenario, renewable energies stand out. Indispensable for sustaining economic growth without harming the environment. Among them, one stands out for its high capacity: offshore wind energy. In recent years, it has positioned itself as the key response to meet the increase in global electricity demand.

The EU, in particular, has experienced incredible expansion of offshore wind energy, which already has 92 sites in 11 countries. And the annual growth rate of its production capacity has long been above 40%.

All this has triggered the demand for equipment and opened a market niche for the best-prepared suppliers. The construction of wind turbines requires the development of a multitude of components—from ladders to screws, including platforms, supports, railings, or doors—that, given their location, must overcome the most difficult conditions.

The highest quality management systems for the most demanding challenges

Quality management systems are a critical factor in Laser Norte’s strategy: we work day by day to be a key service provider for the industry. Thus, our certifications (EN 9100:2018 and ISO 9001:2015) endorse that we can carry out with all guarantees niche market activities where high specialization and flexibility are required.

You can review both below:

EN9100 is the internationally recognized standard specifically developed by the independent certification body AENOR for the aerospace, aviation, and defense sectors. Based on the ISO 9001 standard, it provides additional requirements and has the international consensus of all aeronautical product companies, including OEMs.

Obtaining both certifications endorses the company’s and its entire team’s commitment to meeting the requirements and expectations of the most demanding customers, regardless of the challenge posed by the projects.

With them, Laser Norte demonstrates its ability to establish and continuously improve its operational processes to ensure the supply of parts and tooling of the highest quality, guaranteeing the reliability of our supply chain and the traceability of each project. All this allows us to meet the demands posed by engineering specialized in projects of high technical complexity—such as those of onshore and, above all, offshore wind energy—and that require the highest quality standards.
