Generating the right team

Wind power has undergone rapid growth and advancement in the past decade, and our team has been right there helping to shape the development of offshore wind all around the globe.

We're at the forefront—having undertaken environmental feasibility studies, approvals, and assessments for almost 40 offshore wind projects in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia. What sets us apart is our ability to manage projects using professionals who understand the local environments, while providing industry leading resources from our global pool of technical experts.

In Australia, we have a national team of more than 2,100 people in 23 locations including engineers, environmental scientists, and industry specialists who can bring sustainable solutions and efficiency to your project feasibility, planning, and delivery.

We're ready to support your needs throughout the offshore wind lifecycle, every step of the way.

The offshore wind lifecycle

With new legislation in place, investment in the Australian offshore wind sector is reaching new heights as developers see the opportunity for large scale power generation. From preliminary site assessments, feasibility licence applications, environmental impact assessments, feasibility license activities for construction, and commercial license activities to operations and decommissioning—we can help power communities at every stage.

Overcoming infrastructure roadblocks to offshore wind

Australia’s ports face several roadblocks to becoming offshore wind hubs. The biggest? The limitations of the physical infrastructure. There’s also the challenge of storage. The size and volume of wind turbine components can reach heights of up to 250 metres and 150 metres in diameter. Our Ports & Maritime team are leading conversations with organisations that already operate in and around Australia’s ports to help overcome and resolve these challenges. Learn More

Integrating marine science insights

Marine science services play a crucial role in supporting offshore wind development projects. How? They provide essential data and insights that help these projects stay environmentally sustainable. Environmental impact assessments, habitat mapping and monitoring, species protection, and partner and community engagement are just some of the services we can provide to help protect the integrity of our marine environment during large-scale offshore energy projects.

Coastal complexities in offshore wind development

Protecting Australia’s coastline is crucial during the planning and development of offshore wind farms. We work to avoid environmental impacts such as habitat disruption, noise and vibration, electromagnetic fields, bird and bat collisions, and water quality on coastal systems through early mitigation. Our coastal engineering professionals have a range of skillsets and experience to understand the complexities that arise at every stage of the offshore wind development lifecycle and provide solutions to overcome these challenges.
