About us

Who we are.

Ground Horizon is an independent engineering consultancy based in Dublin, providing structural and geotechnical design, analysis and technical advisory services for energy and infrastructure projects, including offshore wind.

We help developers, consultancies, contractors and asset owners address engineering challenges across project development, design, installation and asset management. A particular strength is our expertise in ground conditions and soil-structure interaction and how they affect design and installation.

Expertise

Experience across offshore wind foundations, support structures and transmission infrastructure, from site characterisation and concept through FEED, detailed design and installation analysis. We understand the assumptions and limits of current design methods and apply that judgement where projects move beyond established practice, allowing safe and cost-effective designs.
