Wood Thilsted (WT) is to complete the preliminary foundation designs for Ocean Winds’ 500MW BC-Wind offshore wind project as FEED and detailed design WTG foundation designer.
BC-Wind offshore wind farm is being developed by the Engie and EDPR JV.
The project could comprise up to 34 turbines, 23km from Poland’s shoreline.
BC-Wind’s development of the Polish coastline follows a renewed policy focus from the Polish government to grow offshore wind capacity in the Baltic Sea.
As one of the first projects for Poland’s offshore wind sector, it forms an integral part of the country’s journey toward sustainable energy sources.
WT said its involvement in this venture is supported by its commitment to building capacity in every market it operates in by hiring locally, developing skills of the in-country teams and working with suppliers in the development of relevant supply chains.
It has previously led the Foundations Concept design, evolving the projects’ understanding of the engineering constraints of the site.
Ed Crammond, WT’s head of growth & sales, said: “Wood Thilsted’s continued involvement in this landmark project signifies our dedication to advancing offshore wind energy in Poland and across the globe.
“Our expertise in jacket design and extensive experience of overcoming complex engineering challenges means this pioneering project will set the standard for optimised, efficient offshore wind design in Poland.”
