Assessment of support structure load effect
Our design services encompass everything from reviewing and supporting the integrated load effect process to performing full integrated load assessments.
Using our advanced in-house software, we conduct comprehensive integrated load simulations that evaluate both hydrodynamic and aero-elastic loads. Our holistic approach merges state-of-the-art wind turbine and foundation technology with detailed assessments of site conditions.

C2Wind excels in performing advanced integrated loads, encompassing:
- Hydrodynamic loads through advanced nonlinear wave load modelling.
- Wind loads using stochastic modelling techniques and advanced assessment of park turbulence and gusts.
- Dynamic ice loads employing advanced prediction tools.
- Support and management of the Integrated Load effect process.
Our primary expertise lies in conducting precise integrated load calculations for various turbine and foundation structure types. The precision of C2Wind's tool C2Flex enables meticulous assessment of foundation and substructure loads, facilitating load iterations for economically optimized designs in fabrication and installation.
These capabilities, coupled with specialized knowledge in offshore metocean conditions and Foundations Design, underpin our best-in-class design and load iteration processes. Our approach consistently delivers significant primary steel cost savings compared to market alternatives, achieved through the application of superior knowledge in wind, waves, structures, and loads within a holistic framework
We deliver:
- Precise and optimized load effects and load estimates for a large range of generic turbines.
- Identify key support structure design drivers and risks for different turbine sizes and Site Conditions Assessment.
- Provide input for Foundations Design.
- Provide post construction lifetime reanalysis.
- Provide input for benchmark of turbines and foundations costs for CAPEX evaluation.
- Review of Wind Turbine Manufacturer loads and methods.
