We are fascinated by the rapid growth of offshore Wind Parks. Since the year 2002 the total installed operating capacity of offshore wind turbines has increased to a stunning figure of almost 20 GW in 2017. 10 MW wind turbines were a dream some 15 years ago but now power our transmission grids. Invisible yet highly sophisticated subsea power cable networks allow the transmission of large quantities of clean offshore wind generated power to the transmission networks of our countries. Europe leads this market but South East Asia, China and the USA are increasing their installed offshore wind capacity fast. We have been fortunate to have been involved in these developments in Europe from the start. 

Whether you are a wind park developer, an island resort, a Transmission System Operator or an Oil & Gas Company who needs power on its offshore rigs, we can design your offshore electrical infrastructure and defeat the paradigm that water and electricity do not go together. We admire the technology and sheer size of a 400 kV HVDC offshore GIS substation structure which is constructed on one continent, transported to another continent to be completed there, before it is finally installed on its permanent location at open sea.

Thousands of kilometres of robust subsea power cables already transport massive amounts of power under water in a reliable way. Installing these expensive cables requires a large investment and extensive planning, only a few specialised offshore contractors can do this efficiently and in a reliable way by using specially designed Cable Lay Vessels which are able to carry and install subsea power cables of even hundreds of kilometres. Complete (HVDC) substations have been built offshore and new initiatives show more and more offshore grid initiatives including offshore HV substations. 

We can advise on cable and substation design, evaluate bids and supervise the manufacturing, transportation and installation activities both onshore as well as offshore.
