Arran Armstrong

Technical Manager

About

Arran is 2H’s Geoconsultancy Technical Manager with an extensive career in offshore data acquisition, project management and geo-engineering consultancy. Arran joined the offshore industry as a graduate with RACAL in 2000, during this early time in Arran’s career he was primarily involved with geophysical and geotechnical offshore acquisition projects. After a period of time Arran specialised in geotechnics and geotechnical data acquisition, specifically with heave compensated geotechnical drilling vessels. In 2011 Arran moved onto Geo-engineering consultancy, applying his operational and technical experience gained as a site investigation contractor to provide clients with the knowledge they need to successfully meet their development design objectives. Now, as 2H’s Geonsultancy Technical Manager, Arran looks after our clients geo-engineering challenges whilst integrating with the other 2H engineering disciplines to provide our clients with holistic, turnkey engineering solutions.

Approach

Our geoengineering team develops solutions that are technically robust and commercially efficient. This involves understanding the full lifecycle of the foundation design process, including, fabrication complexity, structural integrity and installation risks.

Our geotechnical engineers are experienced with the real-world nuances of foundation in-place and installation performance in a wide range of ground conditions and regions. Where standard industry methodologies may not be applicable, we work from fundamental soil mechanic principles and/or finite element analysis (FEA) where warranted to design a safe and efficient solution.

One of the key aspects of high-quality geoengineering is understanding the geophysical and geotechnical data and its associated limitations. Many of our geotechnical engineers and specialists have a background in data acquisition and understand the limitations and potential quality issues that arise with site survey and site investigation data.
