Unlocking Floating Offshore Wind opportunities in deeper waters

Floating wind platforms are essential for unlocking renewable energy potential. Each of these floating systems is underpinned by a critical component: anchoring. Reliable, robust, and precisely installed anchors ensure long-term stability and performance—even in the harshest marine environments.

As the offshore wind industry moves into deeper waters, IQIP is bringing proven anchoring expertise and solutions to this emerging sector, making it possible to rapidly and cost-effectively build future-ready, scalable solutions that meet the highest safety, precision, and durability standards.

Proven track record in anchor installation

We combine innovation with operational excellence based on decades of offshore foundation and installation experience. Our oil & gas industry legacy includes more than 750 successful anchor pile installations worldwide, from continental shelves to ultra-deepwater projects. Our experience in offshore wind, oil & gas, and marine construction ensures we understand the full offshore infrastructure lifecycle.

IQIP’s anchoring solution

To meet the demands of the floating offshore wind industry, IQIP developed the DrivenPile anchoring solution—an optimized method for installing driven anchor piles in shared mooring configurations.

Early-stage involvement for your Floating Wind project

At IQIP, we take an holistic approach towards the design and installation of anchors to de-risk project development. After all, optimizing anchor design and boosting installation efficiency exhibits great potential to reduce the overall costs. At the same time, working safely and minimizing the environmental impact with a minimum seabed footprint of (shared) mooring systems and mitigation of underwater noise levels is amongst our top priorities.

By working closely together with our customers, we can identify and tackle project-specific challenges at an early stage and ensure optimal installation methods and equipment through a range of advisory services, including:

  • Drivability analysis
  • Underwater noise level analysis
  • Installation cycle time analysis
  • On-bottom stability analysis
