Optimised substructure and foundations design
Our design services extend from concept and novel technology evaluation to detailed design of the secondary and primary structures for offshore wind support structures.
At C2Wind, our approach to primary structure design sets industry standards. C2Wind has unmatched expertise in monopile design and extensive experience in jackets and a pivotal role in advancing floating foundations. Whether in the early screening stages or detailed design phases, partnering with us ensures both time and cost savings throughout your project's lifecycle. The Design tools are supplemented with our integrated in-house load assessment capability includes comprehensive aero-elastic analysis, hydrodynamic loading, and seismic effects. From monopiles to jackets, we cover all structural forms and are equipped to tackle novel solutions with a first-principles approach. Read more about our tools and Software Solutions.
Wherever you are in the world, C2Wind is ready to take on your challenges and deliver excellence.

C2Wind has design tools for offshore wind turbine foundations that allow several thousands of design verification analyses to be undertaken. This means that all elements of the design can be fully optimised – not only for steel weights, but also fabrication and other factors. Working directly with the Client C2Wind can deliver optimized designs to a level of detail not available by other consultancies
C2Wind can setup site-specific aero-elastic load models through Integrated Load Analysis which will include the combined RNA and support structure accounting for various items identified through the Site Conditions Assessment. Load effects from these models will be directly fed into our support structure design tool, which will include all structural constraints and soil response parameters for each individual turbine position. Numerous load iterations can be undertaken between these two models, not only to ensure model convergence, but also allowing sensitivity of design parameters to be full investigated - both from a risk and support structure cost perspective. This process will ensure a cost-optimal design and allow early stage identification of problematic issues related to the fabrication, installation, general supply chain and give your project the best possible starting point for detailed design. This will also give the project the best possible handle to challenge and interact with the wind turbine supplier.
