Luiza Ferreira
Principal Engineer
About
Luiza Ferreira has twelve years’ offshore engineering experience and currently is the Principal Engineer for renewable energy engineering activities for 2H Offshore’s California offices. She spent four years leading renewables engineering for 2H’s UK offices. She specialises in system engineering for floating and bottom-fixed offshore wind foundations and wave energy converters, and also has expertise in numerical analysis, structural design and engineering of subsea riser and conductor systems, including hybrid risers, rigid risers, drilling and completion risers, and flexible risers.

We have a long track record in global dynamic analysis and cross-section verification of cables and umbilicals for offshore applications. We have combined this expertise with coupled analysis capabilities for floating wind, electrical design services and wind farm inter-array cable layouts to offer complete HV cable engineering.
For dynamic cables, we conduct extreme load, wave fatigue and VIV response assessments. We also define installation envelopes and assess clearance from adjacent mooring lines and other structures. Our services cover conceptual design and functional specification, through to detailed engineering, delivery management, and integrity management. We work with cable manufacturers to procure the lowest risk and most robust cable solution considering the full function and lifecycle of the cable system.
Our services cover conceptual design and functional specification, through to detailed engineering, delivery management, and integrity management. We work with cable manufacturers to procure the lowest risk and most robust cable solution considering the full function and lifecycle of the cable system.
As part of this, we provide cable array, routing and redundancy design that accounts for the risks and costs associated with installation, in-service maintenance and potential failures/repair. Array and routing design can include subsea protection solutions and foundation interface design.
Electrical design services cover cable length and sizing design or verification and power loss calculations in collaboration with our industry partners.
