Services portfolio

Wind: TURBO Programme

Part of a European research project focused on reducing waste in wind turbine blade production, we're developing a new digital system that uses sensors to monitor the manufacturing process. Through active control, this digital innovation has the potential to significantly reduce typical re-work, scrap & repair for more efficient & sustainable blade production.

Our Impact

Hydrogen: Storage & distribution

Optimised a lightweight tank for cryogenic temperatures with Rux Energy, storing three times more hydrogen per volume than conventional methods.

Our Impact

New nuclear: Doubling energy

We're collaborating with the UK Atomic Energy Authority to develop fusion-grade silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites (SiC/SiC). The innovations reduce manufacturing costs to one-fifth and shorten cycle times, & doubles conventional electricity generation efficiency.
