Nikhar Parikh, TGS’ head of GIS for 4C Offshore products, provides a detailed look into how advanced mapping and spatial technologies are transforming the offshore wind energy sector. These technological innovations are vital in enhancing both efficiency and sustainability, preparing the industry to address future challenges with greater efficacy.
PES: Welcome to PES Wind, Nikhar. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with us today. TGS is widely recognized for its expertise in geospatial intelligence services. Could you share more about your approach to spatial solutions and how they help businesses make more informed, data-driven decisions?
Nikhar Parikh: In offshore wind energy and beyond, decision making is often hindered by fragmented data sources, unpredictable environmental conditions, and logistical challenges. By integrating seabed data, vessel routing, weather analytics, and turbine performance metrics into a single framework, location-based insights enable businesses to minimize risks and improve operational efficiency.
And yes, you are correct in saying that TGS provides these insights in a structured, accessible manner, which helps stakeholders make informed choices that drive project success.
