BERENGUER INGENIEROS SL

Their core work

Berenguer Ingenieros is a Madrid-based engineering SME focused on the structural design and installation engineering of offshore wind energy systems. Their work addresses one of the hardest problems in offshore wind: how to physically place and anchor large turbines at sea in a way that is cost-effective and scalable. They have developed both fixed multi-tower maritime structures (TRIWIND) and floating platform concepts (ARCHIME3) for deploying offshore wind turbines. Their value to consortia lies in applied structural and maritime engineering, bridging conceptual design with real installation constraints.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first H2020 project (TRIWIND, 2017), the focus was on a fixed multi-tower maritime structure designed for versatility across turbine sizes — a cost-reduction play for near-shore or transitional-depth installations. By 2021, with ARCHIME3, the emphasis shifted clearly to floating structures capable of supporting large turbines, which points toward deeper offshore sites where fixed foundations are impractical. The trajectory is consistent: they are moving up the technical ladder from fixed/semi-fixed concepts toward the floating wind technology that the industry expects to dominate post-2025.

They are tracking the offshore wind industry's move toward floating foundations for deep-water sites, making them a relevant partner for any consortium targeting next-generation offshore wind deployment.

How they like to work

They have acted as both project coordinator (TRIWIND, SME Instrument Phase 2) and third-party contributor (ARCHIME3), suggesting flexibility in consortium role depending on project scope. Their network is very small — one recorded partner in one country — which is typical of early-stage deep-tech SMEs that work in tight, focused teams around a proprietary concept. A prospective partner should expect a specialist contributor rather than a large-consortium orchestrator.

Their recorded H2020 network is minimal: one unique consortium partner in one country. This suggests either a highly focused bilateral collaboration model or that much of their activity falls outside the directly funded participant roles captured in CORDIS data.

What sets them apart

Berenguer Ingenieros occupies a narrow but strategically relevant niche: structural engineering for offshore wind installation, specifically unconventional configurations (multi-tower, floating) rather than standard monopile or jacket foundations. As a Spanish SME with direct coordinator experience under the SME Instrument, they have demonstrated the ability to lead a technically ambitious project independently. For a consortium targeting offshore wind cost reduction or floating wind deployment, they bring proprietary structural concepts backed by EU-validated feasibility work.

Highlights from their portfolio

• TRIWIND
  Coordinator role under the competitive SME Instrument — demonstrates that they own the core IP behind the multi-tower concept and drove the project independently.
• ARCHIME3
  A longer, later-stage project (2021–2025) on floating offshore wind structures, signaling progression from concept to more advanced development and alignment with the industry's current strategic priorities.
