Vattenfall signs up OWC for offshore wind work

1 May 2018 – Vattenfall Wind Power Ltd (Vattenfall) has contracted Offshore Wind Consultants Limited (OWC) to provide leg penetration and pile driveability analyses for its development projects.

OWC will provide technical support for leg penetration analyses and pile drivability studies for various jack-up vessels and pile geometries. OWC’s contract values are undisclosed.

OWC is part of Oslo-listed energy consultancy group Aqualis ASA.

“Optimising foundation structures for offshore wind developers is at the core of our business. We have earlier supported Vattenfall at both Horns Rev 3 and also at Kentish Flats Extension, therefore we believe that our performance on those developments has helped us land this latest work. Vattenfall is a highly experienced developer of offshore wind power, so we have to constantly improve to deliver on their high expectations,” says Will Cleverly, OWC’s projects director.

OWC has extensive experience when it comes to optimising foundation structures. Based on the leg penetration predictions and the soil conditions, the company either undertake extraction analyses or scour studies to further understand relevant risks. OWC also has access to and uses a large and increasing database of previous loading and penetrations to constantly optimise its analyses.

OWC, headquartered in London, UK, is a globally focused consultancy providing independent services to the offshore renewables industry.
