With decades of experience in addressing offshore and nearshore needs for port clients, we bring expert insights into the planning and design of offshore wind terminals and wind energy developments. Our extensive collaboration with developers, original equipment manufacturers, and port authorities has provided us with a deep understanding of the logistical, geometrical, and loading requirements essential for wind turbine generation staging, manufacturing, and O&M (operations and maintenance) marine terminals. Our vertically integrated services span economic and supply chain analysis, marine structural engineering design, permitting, and construction support. We handle projects from expanding laydown areas and enhancing load ratings at existing wind terminals to comprehensive planning and design for new offshore wind terminal facilities, covering both brownfield and greenfield sites, and supporting the growth of offshore renewable energy infrastructure.
We combine our specialized expertise in coastal engineering, structural and foundation engineering, marine construction planning, and marine terminal development to support fuel terminal design and energy projects worldwide. Our global oil and gas services cover a wide range of projects, including piers, wharves, deep foundations, offshore floating facilities, liquid bulk and LNG terminals, and offshore mooring systems. As trusted LNG consultants, we provide comprehensive marine engineering services, encompassing navigation studies, vessel maneuvering, regulatory compliance, and permitting support. Our solutions also include coastal, civil, and structural engineering for substructure design, as well as mechanical, electrical, piping, and fire protection design for terminal topsides, ensuring safe and efficient energy infrastructure development.
