We can plan your Cable Route, Pipeline route and subsea construction site. Whilst a site may have to support ever increasing structures for Oil, Gas and renewable markets, Cable and pipelines have to route over many different subsea terrains, cross more and more infrastructure, encroach on the subsea environment, and impact other stakeholders (fishermen for example).
Cables and Pipelines
Optimising a route is not always finding the shortest distance. Crossings, hazards, terrain, geology and sediment movement can all affect a successful outcome. Further to this, identifying installation techniques, determining optimum burial depth, selecting assets, suppliers and equipment, plus the required personnel skills needed highlight the need for careful and meticulous planning. 4C Offshore has a track record of providing route and design analysis, burial analysis, stakeholder negotiation, route optimisation,
crossing agreement preparation, installation vessel and installation tool tendering and selection.
Site.
Selecting the optimum site for subsea construction of windfarms, platforms and other infrastructure is a complex issue. Not only is it important to determine the ideal location to support foundations for such structures, it is important to identify hazards in all their forms, from poor geology to scouring and wave interaction. Weather windows, typical conditions and nearest support all need identifying. Ensuring surveys are correctly specified, and the results provide the desired answers are a critical element to a project. Finally bringing the engineering elements to bear at the highest of standards ensure budgets are met and successful developments occur. 4C Offshore can bring to you all these elements because of their offshore marine experience.
Environment
We can provide an environmental impact assessment, marine biological surveys, sediment movement, meteorological reports traffic analysis, wind assessments and much more to assist with the planning. For further information on how we can assist you in achieving successful project contact us.
