Arup is shaping offshore wind developments for clients around the world – from the east coast of the US to south-east Asia. Our support spans the full lifecycle, from early feasibility studies to technical reviews, to designing foundations for turbines depending on location, digital asset and performance management tools, applying our industry knowledge as one team.
Supporting the energy transition
We support offshore wind programmes from start to finish. As well as structural design, we provide initial strategic advice, technical due diligence to investors, and expertise on setting up new business models and asset extension.
In many areas of the world, offshore wind is still a new industry and only just beginning to scale up, so we’re helping clients to develop strategic alliances within local supply chains and expand into new markets.
We’re working to build the Australian wind market, supporting developers as they explore opportunities in the market by undertaking feasibility studies. We’re also actively supporting large organisations as they reprioritise their focus to renewable energy, supporting with strategy, change management and more.
Research is central to our approach and we invest in developing new tools and approaches to support the industry, including new floating wind technologies, self-installing platforms and suction bucket technology – a solution for softer seabed conditions.

Investing in digital
Digital tools and data modelling are vital to the implementation of offshore wind projects, helping to assess complex factors such as the optimum foundation type for local conditions. We’re working with clients across Asia, where sea bed and weather conditions are a challenge, using digital tools to apply the right solution by assessing foundation designs against geotechnical risks.
As the amount of installed offshore wind capacity around the world increases, optimising existing assets becomes increasingly important. We help operators to drive down operating costs, extend asset life and optimise performance to add value – as well as planning for the decommissioning of the earliest projects as they reach the end of the operation. Learn more about our digital asset management approach.
Building local support for new offshore projects is also key. We work closely with local authorities, supporting them with regulatory and policy advice including consenting and planning. The offshore wind industry also has the potential to be part of the renewable energy production of hydrogen – an emerging energy for road transport.
