Specialist support across the offshore wind lifecycle.
From survey strategy to foundation design, port studies, and independent expert opinion — explore a service to see how Ground Horizon can support your project.
-
Site Characterisation and Survey Support
We help you optimise your geotechnical site investigation campaign.
We help clients get the best value from geotechnical site investigations by aligning survey scope, lab test schedule and ground model development with the needs of downstream design and installation.
- Survey strategy
- GI scoping and specification
- Tender evaluation
- QA of GI and lab testing
- Ground model review
- Design Basis and GIR development
-
Foundation Design and Installation Analysis
We provide specialist foundation engineering for challenging ground conditions.
We provide specialist foundation design and installation engineering for challenging ground conditions across offshore wind, energy and infrastructure projects. Our team brings deep technical insight into advanced design methods, including industry guidance such as the PISA method and the ISO unified approach for offshore pile design.
By understanding both the applicability and limitations of current methods, we help clients bring the latest research findings into practical project decisions.
- Monopiles
- Jacket piles
- Suction caissons
- Gravity-based structures
- Pile driveability, including impact, vibro, and jetting
- Mudmat and spudcan assessment
- Scour protection
- Life extension and decommissioning
-
Port Studies
We help your team reduce cost and programme risk.
We support port suitability screening, technical due diligence and design optimisation for offshore wind, energy and infrastructure projects, including assessment of ground conditions and soil-structure interaction.
Our team brings experience in advanced modelling and dedicated testing programmes to challenge conventional design assumptions and optimise port infrastructure, helping unlock major cost savings, reduce programme risk, avoid unnecessary works and deliver significant reductions in embodied carbon.
- Port suitability screening and selection
- Port owner technical support and due diligence
- Design optimisation

Owner’s Engineer and Expert Opinion
We help you make better technical decisions early.
We help clients make better technical decisions early, especially where geotechnical conditions drive foundation, cable, installation or wider project risks. Our support helps clients understand complex technical issues and their consequences for programme, cost, risk allocation and delivery.
We also provide forensic review, expert opinion and expert witness support for ground-related matters, supporting clear, evidence-based decision-making and dispute resolution.
- Technical Employer’s Requirements
- Technical review
- Technical due diligence
- Forensic review
- Expert witness support
