The Gemini Offshore Wind Farm has signed a contract to become the first commercial users of Windnova, new project management software which is designed specifically for the offshore wind sector. Details of the three year contract, for an undisclosed value, were confirmed this week, as Gemini completed its first quarter using Windnova.
Windnova combines several modules and features for project execution and the operation and maintenance of offshore wind projects. The system can be customised, allowing each project to be personalised to meet the user’s requirements. Being cloud based, Windnova does not require installation processes or hard drive space and is very easily updated. The system’s different modules allow users to connect easily to each other, controlling the volume and quality of communications and minimising the risk of data loss. The modules include a Project Register which tracks key information on contractors, vessels, personnel, ports and turbines. Live tracking of vessels and personnel is available on a real time basis. Safety, risk prevention and quality control are covered in a special module and a document control and reporting system allows comprehensive project reporting.
