Advanced systems engineering expert, 2H, is pleased to announce the transfer of the UTEC geoconsultancy specialists to its engineering team.

This marks an exciting time for 2H as its engineering team grows to support further expansion in the offshore renewables and decarbonisation sectors.

The move of the geoconsultancy specialists from UTEC, a geo-services brand in Acteon’s Data and Robotics division, allows 2H to draw on a wider team of specialist, multidisciplinary engineers who can deliver complementary services on projects requiring geotechnical engineering and site characterisation, such as wind farm foundations, pre-piling templates, floating wind anchors, decarbonisation systems, SURF and platforms.

The 2H and geoconsultancy teams found synergies after working together on several recent projects, including a fixed wind leader tower EPC project, piling analysis, floating wind anchors, wind farm cable FEED, and a gravity-based foundation.

Geoconsultancy Technical Manager, Arran Armstrong said, “This is an exciting opportunity for the geoconsultancy team to fully integrate with the numerous engineering disciplines within 2H and provide our clients with a one-stop engineering consultancy. 2H can provide holistic engineering designs for projects with a multi-disciplined team of experienced engineers, and now brings geotechnical foundation design into the Advanced Engineering Systems division”.

New Geoconsultancy Services

The geoconsultancy team specialises in geotechnical engineering design and site characterisation, identification of project risk due to ground conditions, along with determining suitable options for mitigation. The team have a pragmatic understanding of site development lifecycles and construction techniques, and a focus on maximising development cost and schedule efficiencies and steering projects to a successful conclusion. Their expertise includes:

  • Near-surface engineering including pipelines and cables

  • Shallow foundations (gravity base)

  • Intermediate foundations (suction cans, spudcan penetration)

  • Deep foundations (piles, monopiles, conductors)​​​​​​​

  • Desk studies

  • Data acquisition scoping and management

  • Ground modelling
