Renewables

Longitude has been involved from the early stages of the rapidly developing renewables' sector.

Offshore Renewable Energy Engineering from Longitude

Longitude has worked with major offshore renewable energy installation contractors providing services for all project-critical assets, from cable transportation and installation to offshore infrastructure engineering including the transportation and installation of substations, jackets, monopiles, transition pieces, towers, nacelles and blades racks. Our expert services also extend to technical support for barges, ships and jack-up installation vessels as well as foundation design for fixed or floating wind.

Optimal Offshore Engineering

Longitude recognise the increased drive for innovation and improved efficiencies in the offshore renewables’ industry from both technical and commercial aspects. We continue to optimise and develop our client services by selecting the relevant skills and techniques learned from the more established offshore and marine industries and applying them to this growth sector.
