Empire Engineering was selected by Thistle Wind Partners to provide owner’s engineering services for the foundation packages of the Bowdun offshore wind farm (and the Ayre project). The scope included reviewing and drafting key technical documentation (including the employer’s design basis and employer’s requirements for design, fabrication, and installation), supporting concept selection workshops, benchmarking EPCI costs, assessing contractor proposals and commercial terms, and reviewing critical design deliverables. Empire Engineering also carried out independent technical reviews and adequacy assessments to support certification alignment and bankability across project phases.
