Keystone Engineering Forges a Partnership with JBO

Keystone Engineering Inc. (Keystone) and Jörss-Blunck-Ordemann GmbH (JBO) announced the companies have entered a strategic partnership to jointly provide the most costefficient offshore windfarm designs that are tailor-made to the nascent US offshore wind industry. As the offshore wind industry in the US gains more momentum, it is becoming more apparent that the US industry poses significant differences in key areas of design compared to other parts of the world.

The Keystone and JBO partnership enables the design of the most successful offshore windfarms that combines the European advancements of the last two decades with the experience and local knowledge of American design codes, offshore environmental loads, supply chain, and federal and state regulations all while being performed under the direct supervision of licensed Professional Engineers.

“Keystone is a pioneer design firm and a leader in US offshore wind for the last 15 years and the partnership with our colleagues at JBO magnifies our commitment to advance this industry in the US. This collaboration is a significant step towards expanding our service offerings to the US offshore wind developers and paving the way to creating a sustainable industry in the US.”, said Adam Rogge, Keystone’s CEO.

With this new partnership, Keystone and JBO will provide a unique set of technical services that utilizes an American and European team with a significant proven track record of involvement in over 40GW of offshore wind energy development. Together, we are poised to deliver the most competitive, adaptive, and optimized design combining the best of both the European and American practices.

“JBO has been active in developing European and Asian offshore wind farms since its early start. Together with Keystone, we adapted the holistic design approach, in which all design activities can be performed in-house. Offering the combined experience of both companies is our way of supporting the sustainable development of the offshore wind energy sector in the US.”, Said Walid Al Otaibi, Director of Offshore at JBO.
