Successful offshore developments begin with smart survey design
The design of your surveys and site investigations informs every onward phase of your project. Capture insight that counts based on the nuances of your site, your project ambitions and your stage in the project lifecycle.
Maximising your insight, minimising your spend
It’s often said that we know more about space than our own oceans. And while there are many mysteries below the waterline, it’s not your job to uncover them all. A full geophysical and geotechnical site investigation is the surest way to build a cohesive picture of your site. But that requires extensive use of survey vessels – and that can send costs spiralling.
We help you identify the information you should gather from your survey vessel commissions – designing a scope of work that enables you to capture the knowledge you need, without overstretching financially. It’s all about striking the balance between acquiring data and monitoring capital outlay. And that’s not the only way we help you manage costs.
By making sure your surveys capture the right data – at the first time of asking – we remove the need for additional surveys later. We can also help to make sure you have the accurate data required to move to the design phase of your development, confident that there will be no costly mistakes when it comes to installation.

FAQs
What does the full service encompass?
Before undertaking any survey or site investigation, you need a plan. We create that plan based on your commercial ambitions, the nature of your development and the preliminary information available on your site. We can also help to compare project tenders and select a supplier for completing your surveys or site investigations.
What do you mean by too much information?
Survey vessels are expensive. The more data you attempt to gather, the more you spend. We design your surveys in a way that enables you to gather the data you need, without overspending to gather data that you don’t. It’s about balance. No more, no less.

Ternan Energy is a highly integrated, multidisciplinary team of geophysical, geotechnical and ocean engineering experts. It means we have the knowledge to design a full suite of offshore surveys and site investigations. And we have done so for projects all over the world.
