Our Permanent Mooring Track Record brochure consolidates hundreds of permanent mooring projects across multiple environments, water depths, and asset types and summarises our work scope for each project. By combining advanced engineering, robust anchor technologies, disciplined offshore procedures, and long-term integrity management, we deliver mooring solutions that behave exactly as intended throughout the asset’s life.

Menck, Acteon’s Marine Foundations business line, delivered its largest offshore grouting operation to date for DEME, supporting the installation of 61 turbine foundations at the Yeu-Noirmoutier Offshore Wind Farm. To keep pace with DEME’s rapid installation schedule, we executed large annulus grouting operations at previously unmatched pumping rates, achieving exceptionally fast turnaround times between pours and enabling fast consecutive foundation installations.

Advanced geospatial intelligence gives offshore teams a clear view of subsurface conditions, enabling proactive planning, cost control and more predictable project delivery.

Menck, Acteon’s Marine Foundations business line, delivered a fully integrated jacket installation solution for the Congo LNG project in 27 m water depth. The project required precise execution in a challenging marine environment. Tight tolerances, complex logistics, and remote coordination added pressure to deliver a safe, first-time-right installation.

When planning a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) project, the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study is where strategy meets precision. For mooring engineers and project managers, this phase sets the foundation for safe, efficient, and cost-effective mooring solutions. 

Intermoor, Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, is proud to announce that the pioneering “SEPLA in Sand” project, developed in collaboration with researchers from The Centre of Offshore Foundation Systems at the University of Western Australia (UWA), has received a major grant from the Australian Research Council.

The UTEC Manta 200 kN Seabed Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) system is a new-generation, continuous drive system that was designed with a clear focus on resilience and efficiency. Its adjustable ballast system and modular design deliver exceptional versatility and operational flexibility.

UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, delivered a comprehensive deepwater geotechnical investigation offshore Mozambique using the Portable Remotely Operated Drill (PROD5) seabed drilling system, combining sampling and in situ data to characterise challenging seabed conditions.

In this episode of Act on Energy podcast, Guste Kelly (née Cesnuleviciute), Marketing Campaign Lead at Acteon, speaks with Justin Carpenter, Sales & Business Development Director at UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, to explore his 15-year career in offshore geotechnical engineering. 

Offshore decommissioning is one of the most complex and costly challenges facing the oil and gas industry today. Over the next 20 years, global spending is projected to reach $200 billion on more than 2,800 fixed platforms.

Intermoor, Acteon’s Moorings and Anchors business line, has been awarded a three-year contract by Petrobras, following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston in May 2025. 

Most marine infrastructure has a prescribed shelf life. But in practice, it’s often expected to remain in service well beyond it. Across offshore energy, platforms, moorings and subsea cables are operating well past their intended lifespans. Yet many operators still rely on outdated, time-based inspection regimes that miss early warning signs - leaving them vulnerable to unplanned outages and costly failures.
