Create a meticulous ground model of your site

An accurate ground model is the keystone of your project – a shared source of truth that informs every design, installation and commercial decision. Let’s make sure you get it right.

From raw data to real insight

A detailed site investigation is crucial for any major development. But it’s the way your data is visualised that really makes the difference. With our own in-house GIS modelling team, we can provide you with insightful visualisations of the subsea and subsurface conditions at your site. Accuracy is everything. And our approach is meticulous.

Another benefit you can expect is flexibility in the way we present your data. Our ground models are made to measure – with your site data displayed in models that make the most sense for your design goals. Your engineering challenges. Your commercial ambitions. That’s much better than the one-size-fits-all visualisations that you might find elsewhere.
It means you can expect different ground models to suit the people, teams and circumstances you’re working with – with integrated visualisations of structural geology, geomorphology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geotechnical properties, geohazards and whatever else you need. Your data, your way.

We can provide many types of ground model – including:

Preliminary ground models from desktop studies and open-source data collation

Preliminary conceptual engineering ground models

Final engineering and construction ground models

Client feedback

What do our clients think?

“Throughout the project Ternan has been easy to work with, responsive and helpful, and were a key deliver partner for the project. We will certainly be approaching Ternan again for future projects.”

Neil Crawford, Subsea Cables Package Manager, Ocean Winds

“Kent have worked with Ternan Energy on several projects now, where Ewan Fielding was the Geotechnical project engineer focal point. Ewan has consistently shown his ability to manage the project scope of work Ternan were required to deliver, including great responsiveness every time it was required and providing a clear and proactive communication to manage expectations and deliveries.”

Kent Group PLC

“…all four of the client representatives were excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of them to other projects or work with them again. All four were on board through some quite difficult situations for various different reasons during this campaign and all were handled very professionally with excellent communication onshore.”

Amelia Chilcott
Site Investigation Package Manager 
RWE Renewables UK

“Jess has and is doing an excellent job on the project in what has been a challenging situation. Jess is positive and pleasant to work with and builds rapport well. She clearly has excellent offshore geophysical experience.”

Lee Goulding, Director of Engineering, Thistle Wind Partners

We make a measurable difference for our clients. Here’s an example.

FAQs

Why do ground models matter?

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of an accurate ground model. It informs all project phases, from design and installation right through to decommissioning. The right balance is key. If you have too little – or inaccurate – data, you risk mission-critical complications when it comes to installation. Too much data and you risk overpaying for site surveys and data interpretation. Let’s make sure you strike the right balance.

What’s the benefit of working with an independent team?

We have our own in-house GIS modelling team, backed up by specialists in geophysical, geotechnical and ocean engineering. It enables us to create the right ground models, with the right data visualisations, at the right time. So whether you’re making a final investment decision or handing site data to your construction team, we can make sure you have the right model in hand.

How quickly can you react to my project?

Because we are an independent specialist, we can stay nimble and responsive to incoming projects. You have project timeframes and deadlines. We will always respect that. Try us.
