WaveWalker BV will be exhibiting at the Offshore Energy Exhibition and Conference at the RAI Amsterdam on the 23^rd and 24^th of October. This is Europe’s leading offshore energy event for the oil and gas, offshore wind, and marine energy industries.

Guests to the conference can visit our WaveWalker BV team at stand 1.228B where you can learn how our industry-first bi directional walking jack-up barge WaveWalker 1 can support marine operations in rough seas and surf, on beaches, in intertidal and shallow transition zones, and in ecologically sensitive areas; by walking into position, increasing the productivity of marine projects including geotechnical site investigations, offshore wind farm operations, drilling and blasting, trenching, pipeline and cable installation and repair, marine construction, and pile installation.

WaveWalker BV will be co-exhibiting with our partner; Fugro’s Marine Installation Services and Solutions division;

With a full turnkey global contract offering of design, engineering and delivery of projects and solutions within energy and infrastructure markets including offshore wind for installation such as monopole drilling, template design, manufacture and pile installation, O&M and decommissioning as well as support to the cable market for installation and repair. Fugro have in-house services for engineering including temporary works, lift plans, environmental and site-specific analysis and stability calculations coupled with project management and experienced marine operatives.

With a design engineering and full workshop and fabrication facility in Falmouth, Fugro design and build specialist marine equipment including a custom-built pile gate which was mobilised on-board WaveWalker 1 for the pile installation and drilling operations for the Hinkley Jetty project. You can learn about this successful project and our partnership to design, build and operate specialist marine equipment providing solutions to our clients from jack-up charter operations to full turnkey packages.

The Offshore Energy Exhibition and Conference offers the chance for those working in the marine energy and infrastructure industries to learn of the technical, operational, and commercial challenges associated with the sector’s future growth through keynotes, thematic sessions, and over 600 industry exhibitors.

The event runs from Monday 22^nd to Wednesday 24^th October 2018, and tickets can be ordered by visiting the event website. Be sure to come and visit us to learn more about the impact WaveWalker 1 could have on your future projects.

Preparations are underway for WaveWalker BV to exhibit at The Marine & Coastal Civil Engineering Expo on the 12th and 13th of September. The two day event, held at the Birmingham NEC, is the UK’s largest event of its kind, dedicated to showcasing the innovative products and infrastructure within the specialist civil engineering sector.

Attendees can visit our WaveWalker BV team at stand 4C110 where we will be bringing along a 1:50 scale model of the highly innovative WaveWalker 1 walking jack-up barge as an example of our ability to design, build and operate marine equipment providing solutions to our clients in the energy and infrastructure markets. You can learn how our 8-legged, bi-directional walking jack-up is designed especially to support marine operations in rough seas and surf, on beaches, in intertidal and shallow transition zones, and in ecologically sensitive areas.

Those working in marine industries including geotechnical site investigations, offshore wind farm operations, drilling and blasting, trenching, pipeline and cable laying, marine construction and pile installation, can discover how WaveWalker 1 supports projects by walking into position, eliminating the restrictions that come with conventional jack-ups.

If you have an upcoming project that could benefit from support from WaveWalker 1, whether you require jack-up charter operations or a full turnkey package, have a chat with us to find out how our innovative platform, in-house support and experienced marine operatives can help you to reduce your project programme, risk and cost.

For those working in this rapidly changing sector, the M&CCE Expo offers the chance to attend expert-led seminars, watch live product demonstrations, network with over 2500 industry professionals, and visit an extensive range of exhibitors who will be showcasing the latest innovations and cutting-edge solutions for marine and coastal engineering work.

Tickets for the M&CCE Expo are free, and can be ordered by visiting the event website. Be sure to pop the date in your diary, and come and speak to us to see just how much of an impact WaveWalker 1 could have for your next project.

The end of April 2018 saw WaveWalker 1 successfully complete it’s scope of works for the Hinkley Point C Power Station jetty. After working on site in the Bristol channel since November 2016 and walking over a total distance of 8km, WaveWalker 1 took her final steps and then departed the site to tow to Portbury, in order for the vessel to demobilise.

All project equipment, a full drilling spread and pile gate, was demobilised from WaveWalker 1, along with the 32 accommodation units for crew members.

After a very quick and successful demobilisation, WaveWalker 1 then departed Portbury on the 5th May to commence work on her next exciting project, the details of which will follow shortly!
