Offshore Wind
We are strongly positioned in the Offshore Wind market and are an industry leader in the design of tailored transport and installation (T&I) equipment for foundations, turbines, and cables.
Due to the highly repetitive nature of offshore wind farm installations, installation methods play a key role in the success of your project. That is why our multidisciplinary teams carefully consider all critical aspects in the transport and installation cycle. With our logical deck lay-outs, robust handling tools, and efficient installation procedures, we provide you with integrated solutions that significantly reduce offshore cycle time. Throughout the years, our ingenious designs have been used to install a wide range of offshore wind farms in different corners of the world.
As the wind energy industry expands to reach global targets, there’s a foreseen shortage of installation vessels.

Our Solutions
Our multidisciplinary engineers provide integrated services to overcome your transport and installation challenges. Having extensive experience in the Offshore Wind industry, we can recognize your potential technical risks at an early project stage and know how to tackle them. To assure success, we collaborate closely with you and generate ingenious solutions. Some of our proud solutions include seafastening, upending equipment, monopile grippers, piling templates, lifting equipment, cable installation equipment, and other WTG handling equipment.
Tailored Design
We create our designs to make your construction project easier. Our mission is to develop the simplest and most robust solutions for your engineering projects. Through our close collaboration with you, we design mission equipment and temporary works tailored specifically to your project and its assets within (e.g. vessels, cranes). This flexible and transparent way of working empowers us to achieve the highest-quality outcome for every project.
Research & Testing
When designing new equipment, sometimes desk studies or calculations do not provide all the required answers. To tackle all technical risks, prevent any issues in the field, and avoid unnecessary design conservatism, TWD has set up research and testing facilities. Through these facilities, we develop test set-ups, prototypes, and scale models to validate assumptions. For instance, we can conduct permanent friction tests to consider the material, environmental, and loading conditions of your project. We swiftly ensure the friction capacity of your interface materials, bringing you higher workability and lower costs.
