About

Temporary Works Design

Experts in the best solution

TWD specialises in the design of tailored structures and tools for offshore projects. Working from concept to detail, TWD provides creative designs for the offshore wind market. Our design philosophy is to think beyond the initial questions asked. Whether the challenge is simple or complex, a sea fastening, lifting tool or monopile gripper, our functional design method leads to smart, practical and cost-effective solutions.

Optimise work offshore

Offshore wind installation projects have a highly repetitive character, which makes their success largely depending on the chosen installation methods. Due to our experience, we understand the critical aspects of each transport & installation cycle. With logical deck layouts, innovative and practical handling tools and well-thought installation procedures, we can contribute to a significant reduction of the offshore cycle time. Together with our sister company Barge Master we are experts in motion compensation and bespoke solutions that increase your workability offshore.

The HAMMOCK Seafastening for Monopiles

TWD introduces a monopile seafastening that accommodates all foundations, including those used today up to the 11-metre diameter in the foreseeable future without any changes to the support structure. The innovative seafastening consists of two supports fixed to the deck of the vessel either transversally, across the vessel, or longitudinally, from bow to stern. One side of the support is fixed rigidly upright while the opposite side frame is hinged at the base. Between the two sides a special designed rope is slung in a cross-over pattern, designed to avoid lateral movement of the monopile. The whole seafastening uses less steel than conventional designs saving on cost and weight. Mobilisation and demobilisation time between projects will also be faster and easier.
