Our business model is built around three main service areas:
Engineering Office
Our engineering office, located on the Basque Coast, brings together our various fields of expertise: installation engineering, cable design, mooring systems, geotechnical studies, operational risk assessments, and much more.
Technical Assistance
We offer our clients the possibility to second our personnel to onshore or offshore sites, providing direct technical support where it is needed most.
Owner’s Engineering Support (AMO)
We provide Owner’s Engineering (AMO) services to our clients, assisting in the definition of strategic objectives and functional and technical requirements, identifying constraints and quality standards, assessing project feasibility, recommending technical solutions and supporting contractor selection, as well as coordinating, managing, reviewing, and verifying delivered services.
