Multi-disciplinary foundation concept evaluation 

The global expansion of fixed wind into new regions and deeper waters brings a new set of challenges and considerations for offshore wind developers and the supply chain. Where monopiles were often the top choice, foundation selection is becoming increasingly development specific and requires a more comprehensive investigation prior to selection.  

To facilitate this extremely complex decision, we use a novel foundation concept screening approach that reviews a wide range of quantitative criteria to evaluate suitability. Using an installation-led approach, we assess everything from soil, seabed interaction, fabrication, installation method, operations and environmental impact, to the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) over all phases of the lifecycle, factoring in integrity management, life extension and decommissioning. Ultimately, this takes the guesswork out of foundation selection and eliminates costly surprises later in the project. 

Our goal is to develop the optimal solution, not just something that does the job. We use a holistic systems approach and consider every aspect of the project lifecycle to identify where we can enable cost and schedule efficiencies during procurement, fabrication, transportation, installation, operations and maintenance.

Delivering installation strategies that optimise the path to “first wind” 

Leaning on our extensive real-world experience installing foundations offshore, we have created opportunities to lower installation costs, minimise risk and reduce the time to “first wind”. Partnerships with local manufacturers and fabrication yards and creative approaches to installation and scheduling have enabled us to streamline our delivery process and minimise the environmental impact of the project.  

In-house geotechnical expertise 

We leverage the expertise and experience of our in-house geotechnical team in all our fixed wind projects, from site evaluation all the way through to the operational phase. This could include ground model development, driveability/drillability assessments, noise reduction analysis or pile run.
