Geotechnical Engineering

Our geotechnical team based in London includes 5 geotechnical engineers working onshore, and 10 offshore representatives.

All are specialists in:

• Offshore site investigations
• Cable route risk mitigation
• Jack up leg penetration analyses

Offshore Site Investigations

Aqualis Offshore staff have scoped, managed and supervised site investigations for over 10 of the UK offshore wind farms.

"Live SI 1.0" tool was created for East Anglia Offshore Wind farm, reducing their total cost by >£1m, and resulting in shortlisting for the Ground Engineering Awards. "Live SI 2.0" is due in the market Q4 2016.

Other offshore wind farm site investigations managed recently include for Hornsea (soon to be the biggest offshore wind farm in the world), and for Horns Rev 3.

The Offshore SI side of the business has raised our profile and allows us to market other services at the start of offshore wind projects.

Cable Route Risk

Through secondments into offshore wind developers, Aqualis Offshore staff are at the cutting edge of:

• Cable burial risk assessments to recommend burial depth, and advise on related risk
• Scoping of cable installation both offshore and onshore;
• Reviewing seabed bathymetry throughout the life cycle of a cable to predict future risk;
• Back analysis of trenching data to ensure the efficient and cost effective use of trenching tools.

Similar work is also being provided to OFTO developers, as well as project management services.

Asset risks

Idle Tonnage

• Huge investments made into new O&G assets during last decade
• Heavy recession in Oil and Gas Markets
• Many assets either now laid up / stacked or will be
• Are owners / underwriters / investors at Risk?

Considerations

Stacking considerations:

• Hot stacking
• Warm stacking
• Cold stacking
• Long-term cold stacking
• Running costs
• Lay up plan
• Assessment of risk factors and mitigating measures
• Insurance/Class

The Risks

• Deterioration of equipment condition
• Moorings / site weather protection
• Fire
• Unit security Equipment loss/theft
• Environmental pollution
• Water ingress
• Insurance / Class
• Corrosion / Degradation

Leading to reduced asset value and high reactivation costs?

Outlook

• The overall oil and gas market is expected to remain challenging in 2016 and into 2017
• Activity level in Q3 2016 will be impacted by the monsoon period offshore India and vacation months
• Q2 2016 has indicated that there are still opportunities within smaller consultancy work available in all regions. Aqualis aim to continue to increase its' market share in the consultancy fields
• The short term outlook for offshore wind in Europe is good, but the market is competitive with low margins
• ADLER Solar is repositioning its services and organization to target higher margin projects and implementing cost measures to improve its profitability
• Aqualis will continue focusing on improving its profitability and competitive position and being adaptive to changes in market conditions
