Expert analysis for enhanced operational performance

There is no such thing as a standardised approach which it comes to an offshore wind project. Corrosion, fatigue, erosion, and more, are all challenges which need upfront consideration and planning when it comes to design, manufacture and operations.

Fixed and floating offshore turbines will both be subject to different combinations of complex wave, current, wind and operational loadings, to name just a few. And this means that finding the correct concept and design for your project is going to be very dependent on several factors – such as water depth, specific environmental conditions, and the turbine design itself.

At Aquaterra Energy, our dedicated and experienced in-house team of offshore analysts work closely with other offshore disciplines to reduce conservatism and find practical and intelligently engineered solutions. We take the stress out of finding that optimal design for your specific offshore wind project – helping to accelerate your time to first operation and a faster return on your investment.

Finding your optimal design

Every offshore wind project is unique and requires intelligent engineering. Mooring design, corrosion, fatigue, and complex environmental loads all need careful planning. Fixed and floating turbines face interacting waves, currents, wind, as well as operational forces, making design decisions highly site-specific. Our expertise delivers practical solutions that simplify, design optimisation and maximise your return on investment.

Our in-house offshore analysts make it easier by:

  • Identifying corrosion, fatigue, and structural risks early
  • Simplifying complex environmental interactions and load assessments
  • Automating loadcase management
  • Tailoring designs to site conditions and turbine type
  • Streamlining decisions, through a collaborative approach, to get your project running faster
