Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Foundation Design

Home » What We Do » Offshore Wind » Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Foundation Design

Service Introduction

Our experienced and dedicated global team specialises in the design and engineering of offshore wind turbine foundation structures, ensuring trust and reliability in our clients’ processes.

We provide comprehensive services including concept development, Front End Engineering Design (FEED), and detailed design for bottom-fixed and floating Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) foundations. Our expertise extends to certification, fabrication, and installation solutions, aimed at minimising risks and enhancing predictability.

Utilising advanced software solutions and methodologies, we analyse and engineer optimised wind turbine foundations through fast iterations and numerous study points to identify the best alternatives.

As part of the ABL group, we collaborate with colleagues who embody the mindset and values of a true offshore enterprise. Every employee and company within the group possesses a rich history and deep understanding of offshore operations and marine engineering.

Together, we excel in developing, engineering, certifying, fabricating, inspecting, installing, operating, maintaining, and decommissioning all types of offshore structures, while prioritising safe workspaces for personnel.

This is our distinctive service to our colleagues, clients, and partners, which lies at the core of everything we do.
