Subsea geotechnical engineering focuses on understanding soil behavior and geotechnical materials beneath the seafloor, enabling the safe and stable design of offshore foundations and infrastructure.
At WIW Engineering, our geotechnical engineers combine advanced theoretical knowledge and practical site experience to assess soil conditions, evaluate slope stability, and design robust subsea foundations such as mudmats and suction piles.
Our engineers conduct detailed site investigations, interpreting survey and soil sampling data to accurately characterize seabed conditions. These studies form the foundation for designing safe, efficient, and industry-compliant offshore structures.
We specialize in the design of subsea foundations tailored to each project’s environmental and functional requirements, including:
Our team integrates laboratory soil testing and the deployment of real-time monitoring sensors to assess structure-soil interactions throughout the lifecycle of subsea assets. This enables early detection of potential settlement, displacement, or failure risks.
To ensure foundation reliability and compliance with project standards, WIW Engineering performs comprehensive analyses, including:
WIW Engineering delivers geotechnical designs that ensure the safety, stability, and longevity of critical subsea infrastructure under the world’s harshest conditions.
