Mike Campbell
Global Director, USA
About
Mike is a Global Director and vice president of 2H’s Houston office, where he is responsible for the management of the engineering group. Mike has over 22 years of experience dedicated to riser engineering, ranging from conceptual design and feasibility to detailed design, installation, monitoring and operational integrity management for all types of riser systems and subsea equipment. He has authored numerous technical publications including fatigue analysis methods and the use of field measurements to benchmark and improve design tools. Mike is a graduate of the University of Sheffield, UK, and has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics.
Ben Andrew
Director, UK
About
Ben has over 17 years of specialist engineering experience in the design and analysis of offshore platforms, foundations, cables, and riser systems. He has held numerous project management and technical leadership roles on a variety of projects from concept through to detailed design based out of our London, Kuala Lumpur and Houston offices.
As one of the UK directors, Ben’s current focus is on the development of our minimum facilities platforms and fixed offshore wind offerings for the European, Middle East and Africa markets. Ben is a graduate of Oxford and Imperial Universities with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, and a Master’s in Quantum Physics.

Pierre Guerin
Director, France
About
Pierre is the director of the 2H France office. He is based in the south of France and splits his time between there and Paris. He is responsible for management of the Paris office and global growth of the company’s engineering services for the renewable energy sector. Guerin came to 2H in April 2021 with over 20 years’ experience in marine renewable energy, in particular, offshore wind, shipbuilding and oil and gas. Most recently he spent 5 years managing the development of renewable energy projects for Bardot Ocean. He also has an impressive 10-year track record of regional and international expansion projects from Principia where he focused on floating structures, coastal and naval defence engineering.
Language
An established leader in marine structure dynamics
Fixed and floating offshore wind developments are complex systems subject to extreme loading from their environment. To develop robust and cost-effective structures that will stand up to environmental and geotechnical conditions and perform optimally, you must first understand how they behave under such dynamic conditions.
After 30 years in the offshore business, we consider ourselves experts in everything from the platform to the seabed. We understand the environment. We know how structures behave in it. And we know how best to build, fabricate and install them. We are using that expertise to bring leading-edge technology solutions to offshore renewables.
Novel engineering to maximise efficiency and minimise cost
What makes us different is that we are an independent innovative team of engineers from a variety of disciplines covering structural, environmental, geotechnical, subsea, materials, installation and integrity. We focus on applying advanced engineering techniques to reduce conservatism, provide accurate simulations and optimize the design, components, materials, and processes, to make them more robust, more cost-effective and perform better.
Treat us like one of your team
Unlike other contractors, we are not biased towards a particular concept design, equipment manufacturer, or installation contractor. We consider ourselves your specialist engineering support working collaboratively as part of your project team on your objectives. We will provide independent, unbiased, engineering solutions that are optimal for your specific project’s needs and budget.
Tackling the greater challenges in offshore wind
Our expertise lies in using engineering to find new avenues for innovation. That means we’re looking at the big picture, not just today’s problems. Instead, we’re focused on making the next generation of offshore wind technology possible.
Bigger wind turbines
Novel fixed foundation designs
New mooring and anchor systems
More sophisticated cable designs and configurations
Smarter fabrication and installation techniques
Turbine torque and dynamics
High thrust loads
Turbine-to-turbine shielding and interaction
Energy efficiency under dynamic and high floating foundation pitch and roll
Cable integrity and failure rates
Mooring footprint and cable routing design
Holistic support through all phases of the wind farm lifecycle
We have an extensive track record from early-stage feasibility studies and conceptual work through detailed design, transportation and installation engineering, 3rd party verification, integrity management, monitoring and life extension, meaning we can support clients through all project phases.
Our experience in every aspect of the project lifecycles means that we consider the project, optimizing designs, processes and schedules to get the most value out of the investment, minimizing risk during operations and reducing the overall cost of energy.
