LAMPRELL & AKSELOS CUT WIND JACKET FOUNDATION COSTS BY UP TO 30%
Lamprell
PERFORMANCE IMPACT
Reduce offshore wind jacket foundation costs while improving structural performance:
- Cut steel weight by up to 30% through high-fidelity design optimization.
- Accelerate design workflows by testing thousands of scenarios in minutes with RB-FEA.
- Improve fatigue performance and lifecycle outcomes with integrated global analysis.
CLIENT PERSPECTIVE
We are absolutely amazed at the speed and have verified the analysis against FEA structural analysis and design software – it is within 1%.

THE CHALLENGES
Design a mass-produced jacket foundation while reducing CAPEX and improving manufacturability.
Predict different dynamic loads across thousands of offshore wind load cases.
Address fatigue susceptibility and stringent fabrication, inspection, and integrity requirements (DFF, ECA/PMA, POD, etc.)
OUR APPROACH
Akselos applied its high-fidelity RB-FEA method to model the full offshore wind jacket system under thousands of dynamic load cases. This enabled rapid scenario testing, allowing engineers to evaluate fatigue performance, manufacturability, and structural efficiency simultaneously.
Through component-level optimization, the team identified configurations that reduced steel weight while maintaining structural performance. This data-driven design process accelerated engineering workflows and delivered significant CAPEX savings without compromising fatigue integrity.
