Offshore Wind Geotechnical Knowledge Hub

Practical technical guidance on leg penetration assessment, site investigation workflows, CPT interpretation, monopile design inputs, and PISA-based modelling for offshore wind projects.

Written for engineers, technical managers, and offshore wind delivery teams.

What This Hub Covers

This resources section is built to support decision-making during offshore wind development and execution. Each topic hub provides a structured overview, linked methods, and practical supporting articles that can be used by engineering teams, developers, EPCs, and vessel operators.

Workflow Focus

Campaign-to-Design Continuity

Connect offshore CPT acquisition, parameter interpretation, and design checks in a transparent workflow from investigation through foundation decisions.

Method Focus

Standards and Method Selection

Compare where methods such as SNAME, ISO 19905-1, API, and PISA approaches fit in offshore wind geotechnical engineering practice.

Execution Focus

Decision-Ready Outputs

Use practical checklists and examples to produce analysis outputs that are easier for project teams to review, challenge, and act on quickly.

Editorial Principles

Each article in this hub is structured for technical clarity and practical review. We prioritise explicit assumptions, method naming, and references over promotional claims so the content can be used in project conversations and cited in technical summaries.

Definitional Clarity

Every page starts with what the method is, where it applies, and where caution is required.

Method Traceability

Guidance sections call out standards, assumptions, and workflow dependencies directly in plain language.

Citation-Ready Structure

Headings, FAQs, and references are structured for easier extraction by search engines and AI tools.
