UK-based offshore wind engineering consultancy Effiwind has launched an online platform that enables an automated foundation design process.
The new digital tool is accessible via a web browser and can produce concept foundation designs with a reduced turnaround time, contributing to a smoother design process and reduced risk for offshore wind projects, Effiwind said.
Effiwind founder and director Alexandros Adamopoulos said: “Combining our extensive experience in offshore wind foundation design with modern technology, we have created a user-friendly online platform for the rapid concept design of offshore wind foundations.
“We want everyone involved in the offshore wind foundation design process to be able to quickly assess different design scenarios and to easily access cost-efficient foundation designs.”
