Profile

CTC Marine Projects is a subsea construction, installation and trenching contractor with a worldwide track record. Operating some of the world's largest, most technically advanced marine trenching vehicles enables CTC to complete workscopes ranging from trenching to a more comprehensive subsea protection service for the international offshore construction industry.
CTC offers the added value of a comprehensive range of R&D, geotechnical analysis and engineering solutions, which expand the whole lifecycle of a field development from installation and trenching of product, to extending the life of a field using Life-of-Field seismic (LoFS) systems, through to the decommissioning of a field.
CTC's reach extends across the globe to serve markets within:
Offshore oil and gas production facilities
LoFS
Electrical power transmission systems
Offshore renewable power
Regional / intercontinental telecommunications systems
Military subsea ranges

Engineering services for offshore and subsea operations
CTC can provide extensive engineering and design support for the planning and execution of offshore and subsea operations. Engineers use a wealth of advanced software in-house, which allows extensive analysis of offshore operations, including:
Finite element analysis of pipes, flexibles and umbilicals to determine bend and stress parameters
Dynamic analysis of vehicle launch and recovery systems to maximise the equipment's operating window in the most extreme sea states
Geotechnical analysis services
CTC's geotechnical team provides a full range of geoscience-related support, focused on geotechnical and trenching engineering, but also including metocean advice and risk analysis.
CTC maintains an extensive operational database which, combined with the use of predictive models where applicable, ensures selection of the correct asset and that realistic performance estimates are made to ensure compliance with client burial goals, and ultimately project success.
Services include:
Review of geophysical and geotechnical route survey data
Hazard identification and risk mitigation
Asset election and burial performance estimation
Commissioning of research and development, and scale-model testing
Post-project performance analysis
