Offshore Wind

Alliance to Revolutionise Offshore Wind

VINCI Construction UK Ltd., and sister VINCI company – Freyssinet International & Cie, have created a joint venture to revolutionise the delivery of offshore wind farms. Developed with support from the Carbon Trust by GBF®, a consortium of Gifford, BMT Nigel Gee, and a specialist arm of Freyssinet - the alliance’s low cost, low risk and low impact approach includes a radical solution for deploying foundations without the need for costly specialist vessels or heavy lifting at sea. The team’s approach also includes a manufacturing process for assembling entire wind-turbine structures onshore before deploying them at sea.
