Renewable Energy


Essential Materials to power UK construction



We collaborate with offshore wind and renewable energy clients to deliver materials strategies which are underpinned by technical excellence, collaborative innovation and logistics solutions.



Through early engagement with project teams, we're developing sustainable solutions to maximise UK materials, support jobs, reduce project risk and deliver cost and carbon savings.

Our transport offer is driven by multi-modal logistics combining marine freight with an unrivalled rail freight and extensive road transport network.

As a partner to renewable energy clients, we understand the active role we can play to build lasting community relationships, achieve net positive environmental outcomes and strengthen local economies to enable them to thrive. We understand the importance in achieving cost surety and efficient solutions.

Offshore wind:
unlocking the
UK opportunity

Concrete Solutions present an opportunity to accelerate offshore energy projects and unlock long-term regional prosperity.

For both fixed and floating offshore wind, Tarmac supports clients in harnessing local materials and the UK’s manufacturing legacy to create jobs and deliver cost effective, manufacturable solutions.

By engaging early with client teams, Tarmac helps find logistical solutions for your project and that also embrace material circularity at the end of field life.
