Offshore wind

We provide an integrated, multi-disciplined approach to project development using custom tools with proven success. With in-house teams associated with metocean and geophysical/geotechnical analysis, environmental science, stakeholder management, supply chain, market insights, and technology, we can progress through the project development lifecycle in a transparent and auditable manner with few interfaces.

Our engineering and advisory teams supplement tried and tested approaches to project risk management and decision making to explore installation, operation and maintenance strategies which will support the investment decision. Our highly experienced environment team support throughout the project development lifecycle to ensure well informed consenting strategies, understand consenting risks and project timelines.

As a broad-based energy consultancy, we are routinely considering a full system approach looking at non-grid routes to market too, such as supply of energy to oil and gas, use of storage, and integration with hydrogen.

Our digital product XAMIN helps us to help you understand and manage data associated with your projects.

Operational problems can result in low productivity and downtime. Our engineers can assist throughout the operations and maintenance phase, covering electrical & power systems, structures & materials, geotechnical & civils, naval architecture & floating systems, transport & installation, and analysis & design.

We are also experts in dynamic simulations enabling us to optimise control, solve operational problems and validate new designs. Our experts can create digital twins of systems that dynamically show and predict the performance of the plant. We can then assess the range of scenarios that are causing an operational challenge and test out a range of solutions and control parameters that will address the issues you have.

Some offshore wind farms are entering the final stages of their lifespan and project owners are now needing to consider life extension of existing projects, the repowering of sites and potentially decommissioning. This project phase requires a multi-specialised team of consultants, engineers, and scientists to navigate the policy and regulatory landscape, alongside engineering and commercial considerations.

Our late life and decommissioning capability covers all aspects of life extension, repowering and decommissioning including foundations, turbines, substations and cables, both offshore and onshore. We offer practical knowledge and experience of working with policy and regulatory frameworks, cross-discipline technical safety and environmental support, integrity support and cost modelling/commercial expertise.
