Wood Thilsted
Specialises in offshore wind foundation engineering, with strong focus on efficient design for fixed-bottom projects.
Wood Thilsted is an engineering consultancy focused on the offshore wind sector and the wider renewable energy transition. It brings together offshore engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, geophysical expertise, survey management, energy and climate analytics, and project delivery support to help clients develop and operate wind projects more efficiently. Its work spans the full project life cycle, from early-stage exploration and site assessment through detailed design, transport and installation support, operation, and lifetime extension. Advisory work runs alongside its engineering services, making for a broad consultancy model rather than a single-product business. A central part of the company's activity is foundation and primary structure design for offshore wind. That covers monopile, jacket, and floating design, as well as broader structural work for other foundation types. It carries out in-house load assessment, soil-structure interaction, geotechnical interpretation, seabed mobility and scour assessment, cable route engineering, jack-up feasibility, and leg penetration studies. Those capabilities are integrated with the company's structural teams so that design, analysis, and delivery stay coordinated across disciplines. Wood Thilsted provides climate analytics and loads services, including energy production assessment, site conditions assessment, weather window analysis, and measurement campaign specification. In survey management and geophysics, it supports site development strategy, tendering, managing and evaluating geophysical surveys, ground modelling, seabed interpretation, GIS, and data management. It offers secondary structures work for offshore assets such as work platforms, ladders, and boat landings, with attention to safer access and improved workability. Transport and installation services include analysis and design support for floating structures, transportation, temporary stability, and contractor interface management. Project delivery services cover governance, scheduling, cost estimating, scope and change management, project coordination, risk management, financial control, and document management. Wood Thilsted operates as a global business with local presence in the markets where it works, serving offshore wind clients internationally. It is a Certified B Corp, and sustainability is embedded in its approach, including reducing embodied carbon and improving biodiversity and nature inclusivity in its designs and practices.
