Tekmar’s Engineering Services help offshore wind developers make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. From understanding seabed conditions and assessing cable routes to analysing subsea systems and supporting installation planning, our engineers provide the insight needed to address complex offshore challenges.
We combine specialist analysis and design expertise with practical experience across asset protection technology and offshore energy services. For developers, that means access to engineering support that considers how infrastructure will be designed, installed and perform in service.
So, when should you involve Tekmar? Before key design decisions are fixed.
Early engagement creates an opportunity to identify uncertainty, challenge assumptions and assess options while there is still scope to influence the project. You do not need a complete design to start that conversation. A project outline, an emerging engineering question or a gap in the available data can provide a useful starting point.
Before you finalise survey requirements
The information gathered during site investigation provides the foundation for subsequent engineering decisions. Understanding what those decisions require helps developers define a survey scope that addresses the right questions.
Tekmar supports site investigation scoping, design and management, alongside integrated ground model development. This helps connect an understanding of seabed conditions with the engineering work ahead.
Early discussions can focus on the data already available, the uncertainties that remain and the additional information needed to assess design options.
While cable routes and burial strategies are taking shape
Route selection, burial requirements and protection design are closely connected. Choices in one area can affect installation feasibility and the approach needed elsewhere.
Tekmar’s route engineering, Cable Burial Risk Assessment and burial and trenching assessment capabilities help developers evaluate these questions together.
The purpose is to establish a clearer basis for decisions: understanding constraints, comparing options and identifying where further investigation or analysis is needed.
During front-end engineering and design
As a project moves through front-end engineering and design, assumptions begin to become specifications.
This is an important opportunity to examine how the cable, protection system, seabed and supporting structures interact. Considering these interfaces together helps teams understand issues that may be less apparent when reviewing individual components.
Tekmar brings specialist subsea analysis and design capabilities to these discussions, helping developers assess system behaviour and refine the engineering basis for the next project stage.
The value lies in understanding what the analysis means for the design and which decisions it should inform.
Before installation plans are finalised
Engineering decisions also need to account for how infrastructure will be installed offshore.
Tekmar’s installation analysis capability supports the assessment of proposed operations and their constraints. Bringing that perspective into design discussions can help teams identify where an installation requirement may influence a design choice.
For developers, this provides an opportunity to address those interfaces before plans and responsibilities become more firmly established.
When a specific challenge emerges
Early involvement offers valuable scope to influence a project, but developers can also engage Tekmar later to address a defined engineering requirement.
That might involve assessing new information, investigating a design interface or supporting an installation analysis scope. The starting point is the decision the project team needs to make, the evidence available and the specialist input required.
Our engineers work with your team to understand the challenge and establish the support needed to move forward.
Start with your next project decision
Involve Tekmar when specialist engineering insight can help you make a better-informed decision, ideally while there is still time to act on it.
