Experience that delivers
Success offshore depends on understanding how the seabed will behave. That knowledge shapes practical engineering solutions, helps manage risk before construction begins and provides greater certainty throughout project delivery. In environments where intervention is difficult and costly, robust geotechnical engineering advice is essential to achieving safe, efficient and reliable outcomes.
That understanding comes from informed and proven geotechnical consultation. Our specialist engineers bring practical experience from oil and gas, renewable energy and infrastructure projects in challenging subsea environments. We support clients from concept through to build, commissioning and beyond, providing site characterisation services, geotechnical design and analysis for foundations, anchors and pipelines, installation supervision and operational support.
We plan, scope and supervise geophysical and geotechnical survey campaigns, working alongside our clients to ensure data quality, coverage and accuracy – providing a reliable basis for decision-making and reducing risk before detailed engineering begins.
We interpret geophysical and geotechnical data to build robust ground models, defining seabed and subsurface conditions, geohazards and design parameters – underpinning every stage of offshore design, from concept selection through to detailed engineering.
We design foundation systems for offshore platforms, wind turbines and subsea structures, including piled, gravity-based and suction-installed solutions. Our scope extends to jack-up leg penetration and stability assessments, supporting safe and efficient installation.
We design anchoring systems for floating infrastructure, including wind turbines and oil and gas structures. We assess anchor piles, suction anchors, drag anchors and dynamically installed anchors, with anchor selection matched to seabed conditions, mooring loads and installation constraints.
We provide geotechnical input for subsea pipeline and cable routing, burial and protection studies and pipe-soil interaction assessments. Theses analyses feed directly into pipeline and cable design and support optimisation that balances robustness and cost across the asset life.
We support clients through construction, installation, operations and decommissioning, providing independent technical representation, contractor oversight and engineering advice at every stage — helping manage risk and protect asset performance across the full project lifecycle.
We deliver offshore geotechnical engineering services throughout the entire project lifecycle, supporting clients with reliable technical advice, quality assurance and engineering expertise.

We support offshore oil and gas and renewable energy developments, including fixed and floating structures, subsea infrastructure and wind turbine foundations. Our involvement spans concept-level assessment and site investigation planning through to detailed design, installation supervision and ongoing technical support.
Both, either combined or independently. We are not a site investigation contractor, we provide the consulting services around those activities, scoping, and supervising geophysical and geotechnical campaigns and interpreting the results for the purposes of developing ground models and design parameters. We then use that information, to deliver foundation and geotechnical design from feasibility and concept selection through to detailed design and installation assessments.
A poorly scoped, contracted or managed investigation can produce data that’s insufficient in quality or quantity to reliably characterise the seabed and sub-seabed conditions, leaving key risks undetected. We help clients scope, procure and oversee investigations that deliver fit-for-purpose data, so project development risk is genuinely reduced.
Our project experience spans Australia, South-East Asia, North America, the North Sea, Caspian Sea and Northern Europe, covering established oil and gas basins and emerging offshore wind markets, from shallow nearshore sites through to deep water developments. Ground conditions vary as much as location does, from soft normally-consolidated clays, dense sands and glacial tills to more challenging cemented and calcareous soils and weak carbonate rocks, which require particular care in both site characterisation and foundation design.
We help forward-thinking operators improve safety, performance and environmental outcomes through integrated, data-backed engineering.
