Case Study: Kajima Corporation achieves reliable weather, wave and typhoon forecasting for Akita offshore wind with StormGeo

Kajima chooses StormGeo for Akita weather

Kajima Corporation, acting as Principal Contractor for the Akita Offshore Wind Corporation, contracted StormGeo to provide weather forecasting services for the Akita and Noshiro projects — the first multi-turbine offshore wind farm in Japan. Kajima needed reliable weather, wave and typhoon forecasts to support a critical 20-month offshore construction phase that began in January 2021.

StormGeo is delivering continuous metocean forecasting from its regional weather center in Dubai, typhoon warnings from its tropical forecasting center in Houston, project management from Europe and local adaptation support from staff in Tokyo. Drawing on more than 100 offshore wind projects and decade-long typhoon forecasting experience, StormGeo’s solution is designed to reduce weather-related downtime, improve safety and help Kajima manage schedule and operational risk throughout the construction campaign.
