At Wood Thilsted, we are a team of world-leading experts across every discipline of offshore wind engineering. With over 13GW of Detailed Design projects delivered around the world, our track record speaks for itself.
Project Overview
Following a successful concept and FEED stage, Wood Thilsted, along with local partner WSP, designed foundations for the Vineyard Wind 1 Offshore Wind Farm. This pioneering project is the first commercial scale offshore wind farm in the USA and we were proud to provide expert support to navigate the rigorous federal government approvals process.

Project Overview
Wood Thilsted was contracted to deliver FEED and Detailed Design for Thor Offshore Wind Farm which will be the largest offshore wind farm in Denmark. The foundation utilises a TP-less design and WT is designing the primary and secondary steel for the project. Further, WT is delivering the geotechnical interpretation, geotechnical design and design loads through an integrated load analysis with the WTG supplier. The design work is being delivered by our multi-disciplinary team with the majority of the engineers based in our UK and Denmark offices.

Project Overview
Following a successful concept and FEED stage, WT is designing the foundations for the Park City Wind project and Commonwealth Wind project. Collectively, the project is known as New England Wind. This 2+ GW commercial scale offshore wind farm is one of the largest in the US. WT is excited about the challenging water depths coupled with large WTGs.

Project Overview
Wood Thilsted provided expert geotechnical-focussed support to this 605MW offshore wind farm in the Danish Baltic Sea. Through our sophisticated geotechnical FE modelling capabilities, we provided interpretation, critical input and support to the foundation design as well as detailed predictions for pile driving analysis.

Project Overview
Originally involved at FEED stage demonstrating the feasibility of monopiles at the East Anglia 3 site with large turbines and deep water, Wood Thilsted’s involvement grew to the full detailed design scope for the combined development of the East Anglia 3, East Anglia 2 and East Anglia 1 North sites. Currently undergoing the final phases of design, WT’s sophisticated analysis and design refinement continues to deliver major CAPEX savings and risk reductions to our client, Iberdrola.

Project Overview
Wood Thilsted has been appointed to carry out the detailed design for WTG foundations for the A, B & C phases of the Dogger Bank project – collectively the world’s largest offshore wind farm. In a geotechnically complex area, WT designers pushed boundaries to deliver holistically optimised foundations for this project, supporting the first in a new generation of offshore turbines. Working closely with our client, an innovative secondary steel solution was pioneered to reduce operational and installation safety risks.

Project Overview
Wood Thilsted has been appointed to sequentially carry out the detailed geotechnical design for pin pile foundations for the Changfang & Xidao and Zhong Neng projects, located offshore Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait. WT designers navigated geotechnical challenges such as seismic activity, large sandwaves and soft ground conditions to establish a feasible and optimised pin pile design for two of the first commercial scale projects in Taiwan. In close collaboration with our client, WT executed a pile load testing campaign to establish a deep understanding of the ground conditions in Taiwan and provide significant cost savings to both pin pile fabrication and installation.

Project Overview
Wood Thilsted was contacted to deliver the Detailed Design of WTG foundations for the two wind farms, B Wind and C Wind which have been merged to form BC Wind. The project site is located in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Poland’s Baltic Sea, approximately 23 km offshore. The project is in challenging waters with significant presence of hard rock across a portion of the site.
WT engineers have provided extensive support to the concept and FEED stage of the project and are currently progressing the detailed design for the project. This project will be one of the first to be delivered in Poland and will involve extensive local building permit approval sign off, which is provided in-house by WT’s Warsaw office. We are proud to provide local expertise to support our clients in ambitious growth markets with specific local requirements.
