Offshore Renewable Energy Projects

AWC Tech Ltd, based in South East England, was set up to develop renewable energy solutions within a deep marine/offshore environment. The company contains decades of experience in the offshore oil & gas and renewable energy industries.

Articulated Wind Column (AWC)

AWC Tech Ltd and DORIS Engineering (Paris) have developed and patented a floating wind column to support wind turbines in deep offshore water. It’s articulated at the base, which allows a compliant column with reduced forces on the column and base. 

Key Benefits of the AWC:

  • Floating foundation optimised for 90 – 200m water depths
  • Minimal seabed preparation required
  • No piles & no mooring lines. No chains or cables hanging from the structure. => Small footprint, marine friendly, vessels can fish between turbines
  • Electrical cable supported inside column, minimal damage potential
  • AWC technology is based on 50 years O&G experience
  • Robust, simple concrete construction
  • Attractive economics - industrialised process
  • No HLVs needed and “re-power” for second 25 years
  • Significant local job creation
