Introduction  In order to optimize the progress control in the EPC construction process of offshore wind power project and pay close attention to the key points of project progress control with limited management resources, an offshore wind power progress control method based on risk management is proposed.

  Method  Through project risk management, the progress risks that may cause significant delay to the project progress were analyzed and identified, and corresponding risk response measures were taken to avoid or reduce the construction period delay to the greatest extent. Taking two offshore wind power projects as examples, the feasibility of this method was verified.

  Result  The results show that the offshore wind power schedule control method based on risk management can effectively identify the work priorities in schedule management, combine plan management and control with consideration of risk contradictions, realize the effective promotion of project progress, help to concentrate resources to solve risks and avoid or reduce construction delay.

  Conclusion  The research in this paper can provide reference for schedule management of similar projects.
