Sea & Land Project Engineering (SLPE) has been awarded the turbine foundation concept design contract for the up 1GW Inch Cape offshore wind farm off Scotland.
The site 15km off the Angus coast,, which is being developed by Red Rock Power has varying seabed depths and ground conditions.
SLPE said state-of-art structural, hydrodynamic and geotechnical engineering practice will be required at each of Inch Cape’s 72 turbine locations.
Its offshore engineering specialists aim to deliver a design for highly optimised structures.
This will be through the use of 3D FEA “PISA-type” design methods at every turbine location in combination with high fidelity in-house engineering software.
SPLE said in a statement: “We are very much looking forward to working with the exceptional Inch Cape team and to the coming months of engineering excellence.”
