## Description

· Assess the state of the art review of FOW and fixed bottom wind substructure designs / typologies to identify common components, materials, manufacturing and assembly methodologies \(including primary component fabrication, secondary component fabrication, component assembly, painting / blasting, final fit out \(to create complete substructure\); · Assess the state of the art of major \(representative\) international manufacturing facilities with capability to deliver these major components; · Assess the state of the art of "advanced" methods of manufacturing, assembling, blasting and painting such components \(either in use at commercial scale or sufficiently well developed for commercial application in the near term and with either evolutionary or disruptive impacts\) in the context of these being applied in a serial manufacturing process; · Analyse the potential to utilise advanced manufacturing methods \(including design for manufacture methodologies\) to reduce the cost of fixed and floating wind substructures, including techno-economic study of impact on LCOE; · Analyse the potential blockers to adopting advanced manufacturing methods for offshore wind\.
