Securing construction and operation through data-driven design
We systematically improve solutions using data-driven digital platforms to provide transparent insights that clearly demonstrate the value we create for you. By visualising results and fostering your active involvement, we ensure you fully understand the basis for every decision.
Based on many years of experience, we understand the importance of identifying opportunities early on in the design process to maximise savings. By evaluating all aspects and parameters of a project – from design and installation to operation and maintenance – we help optimise the performance and enhance the efficiency of solutions while minimising costs (DEVEX, CAPEX and OPEX) and associated risks.
We ensure compliance with stringent safety and environmental standards. This approach not only reduces the levelised cost of energy (LCoE) but also accelerates project timelines and supports the sustainable growth of the offshore wind sector.
With a clear and trustworthy foundation, we empower you to make critical project decisions, enabling confident and well-informed choices tailored to your needs.
Through close collaboration, we achieve the best possible return on investment while maintaining high standards aligned with your goals and project execution.

Conquering wind and waves through technical knowledge and experience
Our methods are based on many years of experience and lessons learned from global execution and operational insights. We know the offshore wind market and its challenges and offer all technical solutions for offshore wind. This includes onshore and offshore infrastructures, as well as bottom-fixed and floating foundations supported by either suction buckets, driven or drilled piles.
To understand how the soil behaves under repeated loads, we use advanced methods such as 3D finite element modelling (FEM), fully calibrated to advanced laboratory testing. This allows us to design safe and reliable foundations for any site. Our solutions always address key safety factors, such as access platforms, installation and maintenance, including a comprehensive plan for the site’s entire lifecycle.
Together with our customers, we deliver high-quality and on-time projects by leveraging our technical expertise in offshore wind.
Your trusted advisor across every project phase
We bring comprehensive expertise as an owner’s engineer across all project phases. We ensure you are fully supported from early development through to operation.
In the early stages of a project, we help define the project’s technical, environmental and commercial opportunities by evaluating site conditions, optimising concepts, screening environmental and permitting needs, and integrating sustainability goals.
We identify key stakeholders (authorities, communities, supply chains) and develop engagement plans to support social acceptance and strengthen decision-making.
Our services and expertise include:
Through close collaboration and early involvement, we will safeguard your interests and deliver successful project outcomes at every stage.
Power systems
We design, integrate and optimise offshore wind power systems across the full project lifecycle.
Site conditions
In all aspects across morphology, metocean, geology, geophysics and geotechnics, we turn large datasets into actionable insights and offer end-to-end consultancy.
Monopiles
We have a long history of detailed design for more than 700 monopile foundations for offshore wind farms.
Jacket structures
Our in-house experts cover all disciplines needed for conceptual or detailed design of three- and four-legged jacket structures.
Offshore substations
We design the entire structure for offshore substations and all low-voltage installations.
Floating structures
