How can we obtain a site characterisation survey in support of a COP? 🌐🔍 As part of Acteon Group’s Geo-services business line, we provide full-field characterisation to support a customer’s regulator COP. Our production team transforms raw data into valuable insights, helping expand an SAP into a COP and minimising additional work. This is backed by a flexible and rapid call-off inventory worldwide. 🌍📊 Proof Points: 🌊 Completed over 40,000 km of surveys for US East Coast wind farms, multiple cable installations, and the AT&T Pebble Mine in Alaska. 🌱 Extensive experience in full-spread geophysical COP surveys, minimising environmental impacts and creating commercial efficiencies. 🛠️ Advanced technology captures seabed structure, providing critical data in raw, processed, and analysed formats as needed.

 UTEC wishes our valued followers, customers, and partners a happy and successful New Year! ✨ We are currently working on various projects with our clients and look forward to starting many exciting new ventures in 2025.

At UTEC, safety is our top priority. We’re delighted to announce that our Norway team has taken a wonderful step to support the local community by providing reflective vests to the nearby kindergarten. These vests will enhance the children’s visibility during their hikes, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. We’re proud to contribute to a safer community! As we celebrate this initiative, we also want to wish a Happy Christmas to those who celebrate it. Odd H Knudsen

Our team based in Aberdeen had a great time solving a murder mystery game earlier this month. We divided into four groups, and while enjoying some food and drinks, we got to work on clues and evidence together. It was a mixture of fun, laughter and a bit of friendly competition. It was a great way to connect outside the office. At UTEC, we value our people and their wellbeing. Activities like these allow us to build and maintain a positive and collaborative workplace culture.
