You power change. We create the foundations.

Offshore energy is an incredibly exciting and fast-moving sector. We make sure the commercial profitability of your development is built on strong foundations.

An energy revolution is coming. Let’s break new ground together.

The offshore energy industry is evolving rapidly. But it’s a highly challenging operational environment. When it comes to foundation design, millimetres matter. Mistakes can cost millions to resolve. And meticulous, reliable engineering expertise is critical to preserve the lifespan of your infrastructure and promote the profitability of your project.

We carefully study your site data to zero in on the foundation materials and designs that are most viable for your development. Our geotechnical engineering team have expert understanding of the intricacies of offshore soil mechanics, allowing us to conduct comprehensive analyses and assessments through advanced methodologies, numerical modelling and finite element analysis.

Placement. Foundation sizing. Foundational depth. Our approach is meticulous – and we assist with everything from early-stage concept design through to comprehensive design packages. And that’s not the only way we help. There is such a thing as overengineering. So we make sure you have the right designs for your site. No more. No less. No overspending on protection that you don’t need.

Call it base instinct.

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

FAQs

Why is foundation design so important?

If the foundation design is incorrect, the project fails. Sometimes that’s the stark reality – and the difference between success and failure can be a matter of millimetres. We work carefully to prevent installation risks such as pile run and foundation failure.

How do you mitigate risk?

We can provide detailed risk assessments at your site prior to foundation installation – identifying potential hazards and providing detailed insight on how to mitigate risk.

Do you have the right expertise?

With a meticulous team of geophysical, geotechnical and ocean engineering experts, we can give you confidence in the design, engineering and installation process while helping you to save expenditure on materials where possible. We’ve been working in offshore energy infrastructure since 2016 – and have advised on developments all over the planet.

What can you expect from the way we work?

In a word, honesty. We are a completely independent company. That means there’s no recommending additional work you don’t need from partner or parent companies. Our sole focus is the best outcomes for our clients. Just the way it should be.

How quickly can you react?

We are agile, nimble and can react quickly to new project demands. Try us.
