Nearshore construction

Act on coastal complexity

We support nearshore construction across LNG, mining, ports and marine infrastructure. From terminals and bridges to aquaculture and harbour developments, our engineering-led solutions help deliver critical assets safely, efficiently and with reduced cost. We apply deep technical knowledge and practical experience to develop tailored installation methods that improve constructability, reduce offshore time and control total expenditure.

Supporting the LNG, port infrastructure and mining industries for decades

We provide fully integrated pile installation services, including design engineering, piling templates, lifting and handling equipment, relief drilling, socketing, drive-drill-drive and structural grouting. With decades of expertise in cluster and XL monopile installation, we help customers deliver on schedule, even in remote or technically demanding environments.

Acting on complexity in nearshore environments

Understanding ground conditions

We reduce ground risk through integrated geotechnical and structural design services. Using the latest tools and techniques, we deliver high-quality data and insight into subsurface conditions – supporting more efficient, lower-risk foundation design.

Building momentum: How foundation innovation is unlocking gigawatt-scale offshore wind

As our recent blog series has shown, scaling offshore energy depends on integration across every stage of delivery, from reliable moorings and precise seabed intelligence to adaptable engineering design. Now, as the offshore wind industry races toward gigawatt-scale developments, offshore wind foundations have become the next frontier for efficiency and innovation.

Largest offshore grout pour to date delivered at Yeu-Noirmoutier Wind Farm

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.
