With significant experience in the design and installation of foundations and infrastructure for numerous global offshore wind projects, we can enhance your understanding of the geological and geotechnical risks associated with your project. We facilitate the decision-making process, from initial concepts to detailed design, and our dedicated vessels, jack-up platforms and purpose-built equipment ensure safe installation and cost-effective operation.
We gather known information, and acquire, process and interpret new geological, geophysical and geotechnical data to assist in assessing the suitability of sites for wave or tidal devices. Our services include:
- Initial desktop studies and site visits
- Resource assessment through regional/local modelling
- Characterization of metocean conditions to support project planning
- Geophysical and hydrographic surveys to ascertain seabed bathymetry, morphology, classification, marine habitats and sub-seabed layers
- Ground risk assessments and potential geohazard identification
- Regional activities, such as fishing and shipping
- Identify known man-made structures, potential obstructions and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
- Environmental sampling, testing and impact assessments
- A site-specific ‘soil model’, that integrates all known factors
We’ll provide you with a complete geo-model to inform the planning, design and structural engineering phases of your projects. We help to optimise the integrity of structural foundations and cable solutions critical to wave and tidal facilities. Our services include:
- Geophysical and geotechnical surveys to characterize and classify sub-seabed layers
- Wave, current and water level measurement and modelling to support metocean criteria for operability assessment and engineering design
- Construction survey models and detailed reports
- GIS-based ground models
- Foundation design evaluation and assessment
- Cable route selection, design and installation methodology
- Geotechnical engineering services
