Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Substructures
We enable offshore wind development in increasingly challenging conditions, by designing structures to accommodate next-generation turbines, deeper waters and complex ground conditions.
From concept feasibility studies to detailed design, we support you in developing the optimal structural concept for site-and turbine-specific requirements.
Primary Steel and Geotechnical Design
We’re experienced in designing a range of substructures and foundations, as well as primary structural components.
- Monopiles
- Jackets and piles
- Novel foundation types
- Transition pieces
- Flange connections
- Grouted connections
Secondary and Tertiary Structures
Our multi-disciplinary team spare no detail in designing safe, practical and integrated components such as:
- Access and working platforms
- Boat landings
- Access and egress systems
- Corrosion protection systems
- Low-voltage electrical design
Advanced Engineering Capabilities
Exceptionally lightweight and fabrication-friendly solutions are achieved using advanced 3D finite element analysis (FEA) in combination with our predictive design optimisation software, developed in-house.
Offshore Substation (OSS) Substructures
Primary Steel and Foundations
Offshore substations have become a speciality of ours, having designed over 12 fabricated OSS substructures including a range of concepts:
- Jackets - pre-piled
- Jackets - post-piled
- Jackets - suction caissons
- Monopiles
Special and Primary OSS Components
We detail-design these critical components for ease of fabrication and installation.
- Lift points
- J-tubes and j-tube cages
- Grouted connections
- Pile sleeves
- Mudmats
Secondary and Tertiary Structures
With years of fabricator input, we have developed in-house software to minimise material usage and weld volume, whilst delivering robust designs of secondary and tertiary components such as:
- Cable decks
- Platforms and walkways
- Boat landing systems
- Access and egress systems
- Corrosion protection systems
