Extend the Life of Offshore Structures with a Simple Sensor and Smarter Data

Extend the Life of Offshore Structures with a Simple Sensor and Smarter Data

To ensure safety, designers often rely on conservative fatigue estimations for monopiles during transport and installation. These approaches can result in overdesign, leading to increased steel usage, heavier monopiles, and shorter assumed lifetimes. TWD’s simple sensor solution measures actual transport motions, combining them with innovative data analysis and detailed engineering models. This unlocks the potential to optimize monopile transport fatigue budgeting—allowing for longer service lifetimes or more cost-efficient monopile and seafastening designs.

Circular Design for Offshore Access Structures

Circular Design for Offshore Access Structures

June 23, 2025

As part of ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in offshore construction, TWD is developing a circular design approach for offshore access structures such as stairs, railings, platforms, and ladders. These components, though relatively small in terms of total construction weight, contribute to around 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
