150+

Years combined experience and world record deepwater installations (WD 2,120m)

We act in the most challenging conditions

Our foundation installation services support major offshore energy projects around the world, providing safe, efficient and future-ready delivery from seabed to surface.

Challenges and benefits icon.

Maximising efficiency for offshore operations

We optimise deck layouts, integrate equipment and deploy multi-skilled crews to reduce personnel on board (POB), vessel time and double handling. Our joined-up approach means faster mobilisation, leaner campaigns and greater value from every offshore day.

Challenges and benefits icon.

Delivering reliability in complex environments

Our tooling and techniques are proven in extreme conditions, from difficult seabeds to ultradeep water. With proprietary systems like our deep-water hammer and drive–drill–drive method, we deliver robust, reliable foundations that keep projects moving safely and on schedule.

Challenges and benefits icon.

Driving down costs through smarter, data-driven installation

We reduce total installed cost through smarter technology, digital integration, and intelligent design. Through early engagement and leveraging local logistics know-how, we develop solutions that reduce operational complexity and cost, without compromising on performance or integrity.

Drilled pile installation services

Precision drilling for complex offshore conditions

We deliver specialist drilled pile installation services for projects where driven methods alone aren't viable. We’ve one of the largest fleets of reverse circulation, pile-top and rocket socket drilling rigs in the world, which can deliver in any soil or rock type. Our drill rigs can be tooled to suit a large range of pile sizes varying from 0.6 m with ongoing developments beyond 12 m in diameter and are equipped to drill both vertical and inclined piles up to 18 degrees.

Our drilling systems are designed for tight tolerances, enabling stable foundations where precision is paramount.

Our technology

Our integrated drilling systems improve control, reduce risk and maximise efficiency in demanding offshore conditions. Our products include: grout bags for pipeline span free rectification, pile upending systems and pinned lifting tools.

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.

Driven pile installation services

Reliable, high-performance driven pile solutions

We deliver fast, effective driven pile installations for offshore foundations, jackets and mooring systems. Our fleet includes a wide range of hydraulic hammers, from 100 to 6250 kJ, and advanced lifting tools, like Rocksteady, enabling time and cost savings. Designed for precision and rapid deployment, our systems reduce vessel time, environmental impact and installation risk, even in challenging or ultradeep offshore environments. Available with flexible delivery models, our technology and expertise support efficient, cost-effective execution across a wide range of offshore energy projects.

Our technology

We combine advanced tooling with proven offshore methods to maximise driven pile success and minimise environmental impact.

Offshore construction for FPSOs – delivering margin, speed and certainty

Offshore construction is the work that brings an offshore energy project to life. It’s a chain of interdependent phases: positioning, construction support, and foundation or mooring system installation. Each stage brings its own challenges. While design work may be finalised early, offshore success depends on how well those plans adapt to real-world conditions.
