fugro metocean services
TRANSCRIPT
FUGROMETOCEAN SERVICESA thorough understanding of metocean and marine environmental conditions reduces uncertainty in engineering specifications, assists operational planning, reduces costs and enhances safety and efficiency. High quality regional oceanographic, meteorological, structural and environmental data is the first step in developing offshore, coastal engineering and renewable energy projects.

METOCEAN SYSTEMSFugro designs, delivers and installs
reliable and secure real-time integrated
monitoring and information systems
tailored to meet all offshore
environments and requirements.
Each system combines flexible displays
and data management software with
state-of-the-art sensors. Systems include:
■■ Floating vessels monitoring - waves,
currents, winds, motions, stresses,
excursions
■■ Platform monitoring - waves, currents,
motions, stresses
■■ Helideck monitoring - weather and
motion (CAP 437 compliant)
■■ Berthing aid - shuttle / tanker
positioning and hawser tensions
■■ Port and harbour monitoring – weather
and environmental
■■ SPM monitoring - integrated
environment and mooring load
monitoring
METOCEAN SERVICESRegional and site-specific metocean
data, at all stages of coastal or offshore
developments, help verify environmental
conditions and better understand
metocean phenomena.
The collected data can be used to derive
offshore engineering design criteria, or provide
real-time monitoring of offshore operations for
enhanced safety and efficiency.
Our metocean measurement services cover
the entire range of parameters such as
currents, waves, water levels, wind,
pressure, air temperature, etc. To meet
clients’ requirements, we combine:
■■ The world’s largest commercial
inventory of state-of-the-art
oceanographic equipment
■■ Experienced field personnel
■■ Proven deployment & recovery methods
■■ Strong emphasis on safety and quality
■■ High data return statistics
■■ Strict quality control and technical
review procedures
We combine measured and model
datasets, advanced analysis and
presentation tools and our understanding
of conditions to characterise and quantify
operational and design conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICESFugro’s comprehensive, fully integrated
package of environmental services
supports a wide range of nearshore
and offshore developments.
Experienced teams provide support and
expertise throughout the project lifecycle
from pre-consent, through to consenting,
monitoring and decommissioning.
With in-house consultancy, survey and
laboratories, we are able to acquire,
process and present the project critical data
you need from intertidal and sub-tidal areas,
to ultra-deep waters around the world.
Our services include:
■■ Environmental permitting and consenting
■■ Environmental baseline surveys
■■ Habitat mapping and marine mammal
monitoring
■■ Laboratory analysis and data reporting
& interpretation
■■ Oil spill modelling studies and
contingency planning
■■ Advice and assistance
STRUCTURAL MONITORINGMonitoring systems and services
are provided for design verification,
construction and operational phases
of a structure’s life.
By measuring the dynamic responses of
fixed and floating structures, pipelines and
risers, compared with input loadings from
the environment, the safety and cost
effectiveness of offshore operations can
be enhanced. Specialist services include:
■■ Well head and riser monitoring service
(WARIS)
■■ Platform response integrity monitoring
(Online Monitoring) of ageing jackets
■■ Optima® system for planning
deepwater drilling riser operations
■■ Monitoring during float-over, heavy lift,
transportation and other activities
■■ Measurement of stress, fatigue and
settlement on subsea infrastructure
■■ Riser and pipeline load and Vortex
Induced Vibration (VIV) monitoring
■■ Jack-up platform movements
■■ Pipelay vessel motions
■■ Mooring monitoring
METOCEAN FORECASTINGAdvanced and reliable weather and
ocean forecast information allows
efficient day-to-day planning and
enables offshore project teams to
make decisions on an informed basis
to reduce operational risk.
Fugro’s experienced meteorologists
and oceanographers work closely
with operational personnel, providing
site-specific forecasting services for any
type of project, anywhere in the world.
Weather forecasting services include:
■■ Site-specific and route/tow forecasts
■■ Customised forecast format and updates
■■ Tropical storm forecast track relative
to the client’s location
■■ Squall warning forecasting service
■■ Customised regional atmospheric wind
and ocean wave model data
■■ Ocean current forecasts and advisories
■■ Metocean reports for investigations
into weather related issues
■■ 24/7/365 access to duty forecasters
for personal consultation
■■ On-site forecasters for sensitive
operations
■■ Secure web access to data
■■ Worldwide coverage
Monitoring well head
and riser fatigue.
Enhancing offshore
operatings using
real-time integrated
monitoring.
Supporting offshore
engineering design
using metocean
forecast and
hindcast data.

SEAWATCHWe develop and manufacture innovative
buoy-based technical solutions for the
collection of metocean and marine
environmental data to meet client
requirements and specifications.
The SEAWATCH real-time ocean network
system is an integrated, real-time marine
monitoring, forecasting and information
system for oceans, coastal areas, rivers
and lakes.
These multi-parameter systems are based on
directional wave buoy platforms, integrated
with a variety of sensors, to collect the
following parameters in real time:
■■ Surface currents and current profiles
to 1000 m
■■ Standard meteorological parameters,
including wind velocity, air pressure,
air temperature and humidity
■■ Other meteorological parameters,
including radiation, irradiation, PAR,
precipitation, visibility
■■ Wind profiles using LiDAR
■■ Tsunami detection using seabed
pressure gauges
■■ Sea temperature and salinity
■■ Other water quality parameters
including dissolved oxygen, turbidity,
chlorophyll, hydrocarbons, radioactivity,
CO2, pH and nutrients
SEAWATCH is a well-proven technology with
an extensive and successful track record in
all aquatic environments.
