Our Foundation Selection and Design service involves assessing the geotechnical properties of the seabed, analysing structural environmental loads, and considering other factors such as site- specific conditions and project requirements to determine the most suitable foundation type, with full detailed design.
GEOTECHNICAL SITE ASSESSMENT AND CHARACTERISATION
Beginning with an in-depth geotechnical site assessment, we characterize the seabed’s geotechnical properties, considering soil conditions, sediment layers, and geological features to inform foundation selection and design decisions.
ADVANCED GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN
Applying innovative design optimisation techniques, we assess all foundation types including suction caissons, and deep and shallow foundations, gravity anchors, and specialize in drilled and grouted piles, all to relevant industry standards within specific regions. Leveraging advanced FEA modelling techniques we give confidence in the solution
ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Employing advanced structural analysis techniques, we analyse loads, stresses, and dynamic behaviour to develop optimized foundation designs that ensure structural integrity and performance in offshore environments.
RISK-INFORMED FOUNDATION SELECTION STRATEGIES
Utilising risk-informed approaches, we develop foundation selection strategies that consider potential hazards, environmental factors, and project-specific risks to identify the most suitable foundation types for each offshore structure with appropriate software such as ABAQUS and proprietary scripts to model cyclic and fatigue analysis
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION IN FOUNDATION DESIGN
Integrating environmental considerations into foundation design and installation recommendations, we implement mitigation measures to minimize the ecological footprint and preserve marine ecosystems, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and sustainability goals.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FOR HOLISTIC DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Engaging stakeholders throughout the process, we collaborate to ensure that foundation selection and design
align with project goals and objectives, fostering open communication and optimizing solutions for optimal project outcomes.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN OPTIMISATION TECHNIQUES
Applying innovative design optimization techniques, we refine foundation designs to enhance efficiency, minimize material usage, and reduce construction costs while meeting project requirements and safety standards.
