Specialist offshore geotechnical data supporting the energy transition

Geoquip Marine supports offshore wind developments worldwide with high-quality geotechnical data for the planning, design and construction of fixed and floating wind farms. Our specialist vessels, drilling rigs and laboratories deliver reliable ground data in complex offshore environments.

Supporting offshore wind and renewable energy projects

We support offshore wind projects across the full development lifecycle, from early-stage site characterisation through to construction support. Our integrated geotechnical services enable developers, designers and contractors to make informed decisions, manage risk and optimise foundation design.

Typical investigations:

  • Fixed and floating wind turbine foundations
  • Offshore substations and platforms
  • Export and inter-array cable routes
  • Seabed sampling, CPT and in-situ testing
  • Borehole drilling and coring
  • Laboratory testing and soil characterisation

 

Integrated offshore geotechnical services

Our offshore energy capability combines in-house vessels, drilling systems, seabed testing equipment and laboratories, enabling consistent data quality and efficient project delivery.

  • Offshore geotechnical site investigations
  • Borehole drilling and sampling
  • Seabed CPT and in situ testing
  • Laboratory testing and soil characterisation
  • Data interpretation and reporting
  • Offshore engineering support

By integrating offshore operations with onshore engineering and laboratory teams, we maintain full control over data acquisition, analysis and quality assurance.

Designed for challenging environments

Offshore energy projects are increasingly moving into deeper water, more remote locations and more challenging ground conditions. Geoquip Marine’s DP2 fleet and specialist drilling systems are designed to operate safely and efficiently in these environments, delivering reliable data where it matters most.

  • Safety and operational reliability
  • Data quality and traceability
  • Environmental responsibility
  • Schedule certainty
