Ocean Infinity, the marine robotics company, is excited to announce that it has acquired marine geo-technics expert company, Geowynd.
Based in the United Kingdom and serving clients all over Europe, Geowynd’s team of geo-technical engineers provide consultancy services, to aid the safe and optimal development of offshore renewable energy projects.
Geo-technical analysis services major
Geowynd’s market renowned geo-technical analysis services include developing smart site investigations, advanced laboratory testing strategies and optimised de-risked foundation design and installation solutions.
The acquisition comes as Ocean Infinity continues to develop its ‘Armada’ robotic vessels, to serve the offshore renewables industry, with the provision of geo-physical, geo-technical, operation and maintenance services.
Acquisition of Geowynd
While Geowynd will continue to operate under its own brand and service its well-established client base, the acquisition will present opportunities, to combine Ocean Infinity’s robotic vessels, data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and low emission operations, with Geowynd’s geo-technical expertise to provide sustainable, data-driven services, to the renewables sector.
There is no question that renewable energy is the key to a sustainable future"
Oliver Plunkett, Ocean Infinity’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), said “There is no question that renewable energy is the key to a sustainable future. Striving towards a cleaner and greener future is hugely important to Ocean Infinity, it drives everything we do. The role that Geowynd is playing in making renewable energy a reality makes them a natural fit for our business.”
Oliver Plunkett adds, “There will of course be opportunities to combine our complementary expertise and capabilities, particularly, as we move closer to mobilising Armada, to build upon Geowynd’s existing work, in sustainably supporting the energy industry, in its necessary transition to renewables. On behalf of everyone at Ocean Infinity, I extend a very warm welcome to the team.”
Combining geo-consulting business with marine robotics
Andrew Galbraith, Director at Geowynd, said “We are thrilled to join forces with Ocean Infinity, to combine our advanced geo-consulting business, with new innovations in marine robotics and geo-technics. Together, we will drive the offshore renewables industry forward, as we connect offshore site characterisation and laboratory testing, to cutting-edge foundation design methods.”
Andrew Galbraith adds, “We are very excited to join our new colleagues, who share the same goal as the Geowynd team, to deliver innovative, state-of-the-art solutions that we are truly proud of and that help realise our ambition of a green and prosperous future.”
