Installation Planning and Optimisation
Marine transportation and offshore installation activities invariably involve significant assets with potentially high costs due to extended day rates.

Transporting an entire WHP structure in one barge movement.

Choosing the right marine transport and installation spreads and methods, taking into account potential for delays, are key elements in ensuring optimum final costs.
ICON’s experienced personnel are also well versed in assessing the interfaces between marine transportation vessels and installation vessels and methods.
Failure to adequately consider this critical interface can often lead to expensive delays in the offshore environment.
ICON’s holistic approach, underwritten by thorough planning, minimises such risks.
