Marine ecology for renewable energy projects
Thomson Unicomarine was involved in the delivery of the first UK offshore wind farm development at Scroby Sands, Great Yarmouth over 10 years ago.
We have continued to build on our experience and long history of marine surveys and sampling around the coast of Britain as well as further afield.
We offer a complete marine ecology service to the renewables sector.
Marine ecology for the oil and gas industry
Thomson Ecology have been involved in a large number of projects for the oil and gas industry.
Meanwhile, oil & gas reserves are gradually being depleted and a range of technologies adopted to obtain the last remnants from many exhausted wells. Impacts on the marine environment can be gauged and may be subject to legislation. We can help you to explore the risks and rewards from a variety of approaches.
Marine ecology for rig decommissioning
As rigs reach the end of their lives, decommissioning programmes need to take into account the impact on marine ecology .
The phrase rigs-to-reef was coined in the US for programmes designed to mitigate the effects of leaving part of the structure of decommissioned platforms in situ. The legal implications for UK waters are more complex.
Thomson Ecology carry out surveys to assess and monitor the marine ecology of a rig and can advise on the likely ecological impacts of different decommissioning options and techniques.
