Partnership
The gravity base foundation is a development
by a partnership between Hochtief, Costain
and Arup, founded on long term relationships
from previous projects and combines
unique capabilities to serve the growing
energy sector. Hochtiefs strong marine
competence, Costains civil engineering and
marine construction experience and Arups
offshore marine and concrete structure design
expertise are the ideal basis to offer a unique
and differentiated solution that fully integrates
the design, construction, offshore installation
and decommissioning of foundations for
offshore windfarms.
