Before
Prior to engaging with OWGP, CASC had a strong reputation in Offshore Wind having already worked on multiple projects in the sector. Encouraged by consultations with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and in line with the company’s growth plans, CASC was seeking to upscale the scope of its offering beyond site mobilisation to include the design and manufacture of components for the sector.
During
Having approached OWGP for the competitive Development Grant in November 2020, CASC secured the funding in March 2021 and purchased a tube laser and flatbed laser to complement the company’s existing suite of cutting tools.
The new equipment arrived and was installed in January 2022.
After

CASC is now well positioned to secure projects of enhanced scope. The company has already manufactured and delivered components made by the new equipment to Offshore Wind customers across the globe, and is experiencing growing demand. CASC now has an unrivalled suite of technology, featuring a range of cutting, friction drilling and tapping benefits ideal to meeting the needs of the global Offshore Wind sector.
