Global consultancy in energy and oceans, ABL Group, is launching an expert division in offshore wind foundation design, to sit within its design and engineering arm, Longitude. Industry seniors Jan Erik Berg and Michael Sienko have been appointed to head up the newly established unit.
“Via Longitude, ABL Group has established itself as a trusted partner in design and engineering from concept, FEED to detailed engineering, across energy and oceans. With an extensive track-record in offshore wind globally, moving into the detailed design space is a natural next step. I am delighted that Jan Erik and Michael have accepted to lead this effort.”
Jake Anderson, Longitude CEO
The offshore wind design team will provide concept design, FEED and detailed design services for bottom-fixed wind turbine generator (WTG) foundations, floating WTG foundations, offshore substation (OSS) foundations, cables and cable-routing, OSS topsides and landfall.
The unit will bring together multi-disciplined engineering and offshore wind foundation design expertise from Longitude and other parts of ABL Group to support developers and operators of offshore wind farms.
Jan Erik Berg will head up the division, while Michael Sienko takes on the role as business development director.
Berg and Sienko both hail from international energy and engineering consultancy COWI, having co-led the company’s offshore wind business. Under their direction, COWI built a leading designer position in offshore wind globally.
