Gerard Lak Declared Winner of EWEA 2013 Expert Challenge

Gerard Lak of Volker Staal & Fundering was declared the winner of the 2013 Expert Challenge at the EWEA Offshore in Frankfurt, Europe’s largest offshore wind energy conference and exhibition.

The Expert Challenge was hosted by IHC Hydrohammer, IHC Handling Systems and IHC Sea Steel, all three business units of IHC Merwede. They challenged industry specialists in the offshore wind supply chain to prove just how much they knew about the best way to cut costs and boost margins in the installation of foundations for offshore wind structures.

Mr. Lak got more points than anyone else, and by winning the 2013 Expert Challenge trophy, Mr. Lak can deservedly be called a real expert on the subject of reducing the cost of installing foundations for offshore wind structures. Moreover, second place in the challenge went to Mr Wagenaar, also from VSF, which only confirms the level of expertise within Volker Staal en Funderingen.
