Brunel Floating AS, a Fred. Olsen 1848 company, has appointed Ramboll to initiate the design scope to accelerate the technological maturity of the BRUNEL floating foundation towards commercial application.

BRUNEL is a semi-submersible steel foundation with a modular design of tubulars that can tap into the existing global supply chain, and is said to be ideal for serial production and enabling a high deployment rate. BRUNEL is also said to offer a cost efficient and flexible O&M solution for on-site main component exchange.
