MARINE

Our involvement in marine energy takes full account of the experience gained from our involvement in a significant number of recent projects in the UK, Europe and the Americas including the performance of due diligence on portfolios of international sites for development and financing.

Our team of industry experts have significant technical and development experience in the emerging field of marine renewables including:

• Project management
• Community and stakeholder consultation and engagement
• Health and safety
• Site permitting and approvals
• Resource data collection
• Pre-construction ecology survey
• Energy yield analysis
• Site design
• Hydrodynamic modelling
• Marine operations

Marine renewable energy projects are developed and operated in a potentially hostile and constantly changing marine environment. This environment presents developers and contractors alike with challenging operational and HSE issues that have significant commercial impact on projects and require experienced co-ordination to mitigate the inherent risks.

Marine experience is crucial in ensuring constructability and operability and should be integrated into the project team throughout its life-cycle. Our experienced team of master mariners, marine co-ordinators and managers specialises in developing and implementing robust solutions with our clients. We share our extensive experience of marine construction with building close working partnerships for the development of successful marine renewable projects.

We have established a strong presence in the global marine renewables sector, applying our total-project consultancy experience and devising innovative tools and methods for project design, assessment and development. In response to demands from regulators and developers for improved quality and quantity of offshore data, we have developed OceanPod, a turn-key solution for multi-data collection to support the design, planning and environmental consenting of offshore energy projects.

We are participating in numerous proposed wave and tidal energy projects providing services ranging from site selection to market and device analysis, data collection, hydrodynamic modelling, site design and energy yield prediction.

In an industry developing at the rapid pace seen with marine renewables, new challenges are encountered every day. Our strong team thrives on these challenges and is eager to apply it's intellect and problem solving reputation to help realise our client's ambitions.
