Award winning structural grouting services for global offshore energy construction.
In a first-of-its-kind project, one of the biggest artificial reefs in the world has been installed at Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, off the coast of Sussex. 75,000 “reef cubes” have been placed at the base of a turbine, specially designed to encourage #marinelife to use them.

How many piles does it take to secure a 1,400-foot jacket into position on one of the most famous oil rigs of all time? The answer is 30!

That’s how many piles the FoundOcean team grouted for one jacket on the Bullwinkle oil rig back in 1988.

In 2011, a cable-laying vessel hit bad weather off the Gulf of Mexico. This caused its anchor to drag along the sea floor and damage a gas pipeline below.

We used our expertise to repair the pipeline quickly and effectively.
