GBM Works Story
While working as an intern for an offshore contractor building offshore wind farms a young engineer discovered that installation methods were far from sustainable. Despite the goal of clean energy marine life continued to suffer due to noisy installation techniques. Determined to change this he founded GBM Works ten years ago with the ambition to fundamentally improve offshore foundation installation.
