Pipelines & Cables

Global increase in the demand for energy leads to exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in deeper water and more hazardous surroundings while wind and wave energy are emerging as new sustainable sources of energy. Pipelines and cables are key elements in the transport and distribution of energy and data throughout the world. This results in greater challenges for the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of offshore line infrastructure.

• metocean design conditions
• scour and freespan assessment
• seabed mobility and sand dune migration
