Managing installation risks for offshore wind foundations

Mooring Integrity Management: Why Bother?

Mooring integrity management can be seen as an afterthought. Yet, the risks and costs associated with a mooring line failure can be catastrophic. In this episode, Tom Fulton, Global Director, Strategic Mooring Solutions and Kent Longridge, Senior Principal Engineer at Intermoor dive into a topic that sits at the core of safe and reliable offshore operations:  “Mooring Integrity Management: Why Bother?”  You’ll hear:  * Why every operator needs a structured integrity plan  * Why a sparing philosophy is important   * When to choose individual vs. representative methodologies  * How industry standards have been evolving  * What oil and gas can teach floating offshore wind  * Why analytical models are the future    If you’re involved in offshore energy, oil & gas or floating wind, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and forward-looking perspectives.  Tune in now and join the conversation.

Dirt, data and deep water: A geotechnical career uncovered

Offshore geotechnical engineering is a world of deep water, shifting soil and evolving technology. In this episode, Guste Kelly (née Cesnuleviciute), Marketing Campaign Lead at Acteon, sits down with Justin Carpenter, Sales and Business Development Director at UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, to uncover the story behind his geotechnical career - from unexpected beginnings to offshore empowerment, safety lessons, and the major shifts shaping site investigation today.   You’ll learn:  * How Justin’s career took an unexpected turn  * What’s changed (and what hasn’t) in seabed drilling  * Offshore wind’s impact on site investigation   * Why weather operability and sample quality matter   * The offshore safety moment that shaped his entire career  * His top advice for young engineers entering the field  A candid look at a geotechnical journey built on dirt, data and deep-water experience.

AI and offshore data: Preparing survey and inspection workflows for the future

Offshore projects generate terabytes of survey and inspection data - but is it ready for AI? In this episode, Tim Eyles, VP at Acteon, alongside Christopher Hillier, Head of Sales and Commercial and Greg Hammond, EA Digital Lead at UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, discuss how better data management unlocks real value across offshore operations and lays the foundations for future AI use.  You’ll learn:  * Why survey and inspection data is still often hidden on isolated hard drives.  * How digital visualisation and cloud access can support faster decisions.  * Why AI only works when data is structured and accessible.  From seabed to surface, preparing data properly today means safer, smarter and more efficient operations tomorrow.
