GBM Works Story:
While working as an intern for an offshore contractor that builds offshore wind farms a young engineer discovered that their ships and installation methods were far from sustainable. Marine life suffers from humanitys efforts to replace fossil fuels with renewable sources yet the infrastructure and techniques used for installation are still light years behind. Determined to change this he set out to design his own solution.
GBM Works was founded more than 9 years ago and has developed a disruptive and innovative method to silently install offshore foundations. Today we are advancing our Vibrojet tool for the next generation of XXL monopiles used in offshore wind energy. Our patented method addresses major challenges in the offshore wind industry including harmful noise to marine life potential delays fatigue damage to piles and scaling issues associated with current piling methods.
