New global player GL Garrad Hassan

Published on: 

GL Garrad Hassan is the new name for the renewable energy business segment of the Germanischer Lloyd Group (GL).

The technical consultancy for the onshore and offshore wind, wave and tidal and solar sectors employs over 650 technical specialists and experts in 35 offices throughout the globe.

GL Garrad Hassan, based in Bristol (UK), offers independent technical and engineering services, products, and training courses. In addition, GL Renewables Certification is the independent certification body of the GL Group, based in Hamburg, Germany.

With a network of local experts around the world, GL Garrad Hassan is uniquely placed to understand the interplay between the technology, geography and environmental conditions, which determine the engineering solutions, markets, policy, economics and regulation.

"We offer a comprehensive range of consultancy services to marine and solar energy device and project developers, investors, contractors, financiers and other stakeholders," Dr Andrew Garrad, President of GL Garrad Hassan, said.

"Our services include solar, wave and tidal resource assessment, design and testing of marine energy devices, project feasibility and front end engineering studies, and technical due diligence."

After the merger of GL Renewables and Garrad Hassan in August 2009, GL has initiated the appropriate organisational steps to form a fully integrated technical assurance and consulting company for renewable energy. It has become a worldwide leading independent provider of consulting, engineering, turbine design, certification, measurement, project management, strategic advice, inspection services and software products for renewable energies.
