Geotechnical Design

Offshore structures need high quality geotechnical design to provide safe foundations, and economical fit-for-purpose structures with:

• No over-design
• No cost or schedule over-runs
• No surprises

Reliable geotechnical input is now even more critical for:

• Deeper water structures
• Frontier areas with unfamiliar soil conditions
• Structures which rely on optimal soil-structure interaction.
