Our Cables and Pipelines service is dedicated in ensuring the security and reliability of offshore infrastructure through meticulous analysis and optimisation.
SITE-SPECIFIC ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTS
Our approach begins with detailed analysis tailored to the unique characteristics of your project site. Through comprehensive site surveys and data collection, we gain a deep understanding of seabed conditions, geological features, and environmental factors that may impact the integrity of cables and pipelines. This in-depth analysis provides valuable insights into potential risks and vulnerabilities, laying the groundwork for effective risk mitigation strategies tailored to your specific project requirements.

CABLE BURIAL RISK ASSESSMENT
Carried out in accordance with the Carbon Trust guidelines along with bespoke modelling advancements our CBRAs are designed to ensure compliance with local regulations and industry standards governing product burial. The assessment includes a summary of the site/route conditions and a risk analysis designed to identify and evaluate potential risks to the product during installation and over the lifetime of the project. The key output is a recommended burial depth which is designed to protect the product from a maximum threat line based on the greatest threat
PIPE SOIL INTERACTION
We understand the need to ensure infrastructure is stable on the seabed, from touchdowns to operational, and for the full life of the project. Our PSI considers all aspects of seabed, hydrodynamics, and installation to ensure a comprehensive assessment.
CABLE ROUTEING
Carried out using GIS and CAD packages, cable routeing is a critical aspect of infrastructure installation, including hazard identification within the survey corridor covering aspects relating to seabed, bathymetry, obstructions and trenchability. We take all relevant input parameters from MBES, SSS, and SBP, and integrate, with updated alignments created for operations.
HOLISTIC RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Our comprehensive approach encompasses thorough hazard identification, risk analysis, and tailored mitigation planning. By considering all aspects of risk, from design to maintenance, we develop robust solutions that safeguard offshore infrastructure against a wide range of threats.
CROSSING DESIGN AND OPTIMISATION
Extensive assessment of crossing design with optioneering on mattresses, rock bags, and rock berms, or a combination of solutions across pre-lay and post-lay configurations with full stability, installation analysis and risk mitigation development
SECONDARY PROTECTION DESIGN
Design of secondary protection such as rock berms and rock bags, considering a combined analysis across stability and hydrodynamic assessment, with full risk appraisal of threats.
