Offshore geotechnics

However, the offshore environment is harsh, and costs associated with construction and maintenance are high, which requires expertise and skill to ensure projects meet these challenges by providing efficient designs that perform in extreme conditions.

We have over 40 years of experience in offshore engineering, underpinned by our world class team of ground engineers. 

Offshore wind

We provide design and advisory services across all aspects of offshore wind projects including project management and owners’ engineering services, supply chain studies, ports, infrastructure and fabrication, substations & electrical systems, foundation design, anchor design, moorings, floating platform design & optimisation, turbine control and integrated load analysis. 

Our expertise in ground engineering services to the offshore renewables market includes site characterisation, seismic hazard and risk assessment, ground investigation design, management and interpretation, ground model development, survey planning and interpretation, site selection and cable thermal conductivity and landfall assessments. We deliver all stages of design from early feasibility through to detailed design of both fixed offshore foundations and anchors for floating wind. Our industry leading geotechnical numerical analysis team has extensive experience modelling the complex response of offshore foundations to optimise design and support our clients in managing installation risk.
