Integrated design workflows for early-phase offshore wind projects
See how design teams are iterating faster, validating concepts earlier, and making more confident design decisions.
Disconnected tools, lost context
- Offshore wind design teams work across disconnected tools, data formats and specialist applications.
- Each system shows part of the picture, but none bring it together.
- Without a shared workspace, context gets lost between disciplines and data silos hide insight and increase rework.
One workspace, shared context
- FieldTwin connects layout, cost, performance, project and asset data in one 3D workspace.
- It means teams can collaborate live, validate concepts with context, and retain decision rationales that carry forward through consents into FEED, operations and decommissioning.
The challenge: a complex stack of design tools
A North Sea wind farm developer’s design team works across complex stack of tools:
- GIS for site data and consents
- Excel or cost servers for cost analysis
- Specialist tools for layout, and yield assessment
- CAD
- Document management
- Visualisation and consents tools
Each system holds valuable information, but none show the complete picture and exchange of data across these systems can account for up to 70% of an engineer or GIS specialist’s time on a given day.
- With FieldTwin, this developer brings tools and datasets together in one 3D visual workspace.
- This provides project teams with their trusted geospatial layers, engineering data, environmental constraints and cost data interfaced within a single workspace.
- Teams can iterate faster, manage change and compare scenarios in context, and maintain a digital record of decisions that carries forward to FEED and operations.
Integrated design for offshore wind
The open API enables integration with existing workflows, internal IP, and concept-phase SaaS tools.

Connect your design ecosystem
- Teams use pre-built connectors or work with the API to bring data into FieldTwin from GIS, Excel, CAD and document management systems.
- The FutureOn team can support integration work with leading Concept-phase SaaS tools.
- All data and existing design scenarios are brought together in a single contextual interface - ready to inform design choices and align multi-disciplinary inputs.
Generate and compare new concepts
- Using FieldTwin’s quick layout application - Wind Farm Designer, developers create and optimize scenarios directly in 3D geospatial context.
- Users can initiate new concepts or iterate on existing cases imported via the API.
- Users benefit from integrated workflows for wake analysis, cable routing and mooring layouts to validate for AEP, cost, and LCOE instantly - exploring trade-offs in real time without switching systems.
Collaborate across disciplines
- Electrical, geotechnical, structural and yield assessment / wind resource teams - along with external partners – collaborate inside the same, secure, shared workspace.
- FieldTwin’s secure architecture controls how data is accessed and exchanged across partners and users.
- Partners can share insights and outputs from their trusted workflows without exposing their IP or data.
- Every decision and design adjustment is tracked - creating a connected record that carries through every phase of the project.
Integrate trusted workflows and IP
- Design teams embed their own analytical models, engineering rules, and internal applications into FieldTwin’s open platform.
- Teams can prototype quickly with FieldTwin Intelligence AI assistant and work independently or with support from the FutureOn team to bring their solutions to life in FieldTwin.
- Their proprietary IP stays protected and restricted to their tenant, while their proven workflows scale across multiple projects.
Automate reporting and business cases
- Cost models and investment summaries are generated automatically from live data and connected to your own trusted source data.
- Link to existing cost databases, Excel models, or web tools directly for both input and output into FieldTwin’s analysis, so your data underpins every scenario and business case.
- As inputs change, results update instantly = reducing uncertainty, eliminating manual reconciliation, and giving stakeholders a dynamic, auditable business case.
Carry insight forward
- Every decision, data point and rationale captured during early phase design remains visible as the project moves into FEED, construction and operations.
Faster iteration
Reduce early design cycles from weeks to days with connected data and automated workflows - run more cases, focus faster, and optimize earlier.
Stronger collaboration
Bring teams and contractors together in one secure cloud workspace, where data is transparent, assumptions are clear, and everyone works from trusted, auditable inputs.
Scale proven workflows
Extend the value of your IP and digital tools by connecting them across projects - scaling not just efficiency, but the impact of your existing systems.
Better business outcomes
Generate dynamic business cases that transform change management and accelerate and project approval.
