Maximise value from foundation design

Effiwind’s platform can generate numerous optimised foundation designs in a fraction of the time typically required, providing you with deep insight into the impact of different inputs on the design.

The resulting abundance of design information can yield significant benefits for the project, reducing the effort involved in the design process and creating more time for critical decision-making.

Gain a competitive edge in tenders

During the tender design phase, the pressure is on to come up with competitive designs in time for the deadline, while making important decisions that can influence the next phases of the project.

Our platform can yield multiple cost-efficient designs within a tight timeframe, providing you with useful insights into preferred foundation concepts. This allows you more time to develop the most competitive approach.

Simplify sensitivity studies

Effiwind’s platform enables straightforward assessment of foundation design sensitivity, even when multiple different inputs are considered.

Parameters, such as metocean and soil conditions, turbine models and fabrication requirements, can be changed and their impact quantified, with ease.

In addition, different foundation concepts can be assessed to help you identify those to be carried forward to the next phases of the design.

Reduce project risk

By generating a wide range of designs that have potential as preferred options, Effiwind’s platform can help offshore wind projects proceed to subsequent design phases with highly optimised foundation designs from the outset.

This rapid, yet comprehensive, assessment during the concept phase, can reduce technical risk for the design and schedule risk for the project overall.

Understand future foundation trends

Can a concept design for a monopile supporting a 20 MW turbine at a water depth of 60 metres be established? What about when the turbine capacity is 25 MW, the water depth is 70 metres or more adverse site conditions are considered? What would such foundations look like?

Effiwind’s platform unlocks various future design scenarios so you can evaluate them with ease, generating results that can be used to inform product development and provide feedback to the wider supply chain.
