At Empire Engineering, milestones aren’t just numbers — they’re testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence in offshore wind engineering.

On July 16th, 2024, we marked our 10th anniversary with a black-tie event at the iconic Clifton Observatory in Bristol.

Why we’re celebrating

This celebration wasn’t merely about the passage of time; it was a recognition of the groundbreaking work our team has accomplished in advancing renewable energy solutions.

Over the past decade, we’ve proven our expertise in managing offshore wind projects, consistently delivering results that push the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable energy.

Our journey has been defined by innovation, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of engineering excellence.

This celebration was our way of reflecting on these achievements and setting the stage for even greater accomplishments in the years to come.

    What we’re celebrating

    The evening at Clifton Observatory was more than just a birthday party. It was a testament to Empire Engineering’s impact on the offshore wind industry.

    As guests enjoyed an evening of great food, cocktails, and captivating entertainment, we took the opportunity to reflect on some of our key achievements:

    Pioneering Projects:

    From Rampion to Dogger Bank in the UK, throughout Europe and beyond, our team of Engineers have over a decade of experience working on innovative projects. Projects include Saint Nazaire, France’s first offshore wind farm, Seagreen, the world’s deepest fixed-bottom offshore wind farm, Valorous, our first floating offshore wind project, and East Anglia Hub, to name just a few.

    Expanding Expertise:

    From our Bristol base, we’ve grown into a global authority on offshore foundations for renewable energy projects with offices across the UK, Netherlands, France and China. Our team has grown to  include world-class engineers from diverse backgrounds, enhancing our problem-solving capabilities.

    Knowledge Sharing:

    Foundation Ex, our thought leadership programme, reflects our commitment to transparency and innovation in renewable energy. This initiative shares technical expertise and cutting-edge information to streamline the transition to renewables. Foundation Ex encompasses various projects, including a conference, technical articles, live webinar debates, informative videos, and our industry-leading Guide to Offshore Wind Foundations. It is through these diverse offerings that we aim to disseminate crucial knowledge and foster innovation across the renewable energy sector.

    These achievements underscore our role in shaping the future of renewable energy. As we celebrated, we also reaffirmed our commitment to driving forward with the same passion and expertise that has defined our first decade.
