Member News: Tadek Ocean Engineering Expands UK Office Following Landmark 300th Project & 15-year anniversary

Tadek Ocean Engineering is celebrating 15 years in business, with an expansion into new UK offices, and a landmark 300 projects. 

An agile and independent firm, Tadek specialises in the delivery of pioneering cable systems, risk advisory and analysis work to developers and owners of fixed and floating assets across marine, offshore and subsea sectors; as well as grassroots work in installation analysis and project engineering and management. 

It is also rapidly enhancing expertise in offshore renewables, including pre-FEED optioneering studies to FOW (Floating Offshore Wind) developers plus MRE (Marine Renewable Energy) and floating solar projects. 

Recent expansion to new offices in One Crown Square, Woking, near London, comes as Tadek recorded its 300th project – ranging from small prototype projects to high-value corporate deals.  

The milestone event was attended by Cllr Louise Morales, the 50th Mayor of Woking, in recognition of Tadek’s contribution to the local economy and its growing impact in the offshore renewables sector. 

An ambitious growth strategy has been underpinned by a number of high-profile delivery partnerships and direct contracts, including Atkins Realis, Allseas, Balmoral Comtec, De Romein Group, DOF, Maersk, Marine Power Systems, N-Sea, Ocean Installer, Oceanwinds, Ricardo, RWE, Venterra and others. 

With more than 60% of current projects linked to offshore wind and marine renewables, Tadek is leveraging its extensive hands-on experience to help de-risk projects and streamline execution.  

Tadek CEO R.Raymond said as the UK targets 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, the need for advanced engineering and risk mitigation services is growing.  

“​Tadek has been delivering complex offshore engineering solutions for more than a decade,” he said. “During that period, we have gradually built a solid reputation supporting some of the largest industry brands around the world. Our extensive portfolio of projects has now surpassed the 300 mark, covering a broad range of technical areas from multi-disciplinary engineering, to risk advisory and analysis. With this firm track-record across a multitude of fixed and floating marine assets we are now very actively targeting the burgeoning offshore renewables sector where we have identified significant room for expansion. 

“The Floating Offshore Wind sector in particular is evolving rapidly, and Tadek is at the forefront of delivering the technical solutions required to accelerate its deployment,” said Mr Raymond. ““We can play a critical role with knowledge and experience from O&G, fixed & FOW wind, wave & tidal to bring in lessons learnt to optimize project execution and minimizing uncertainties in design, installation, and operations. Ultimately, this ensures the most robust, cost-effective and timely solutions. Our new office expansion reflects our ambition for growth and strengthens our ability to support industry with practical engineering expertise and strategic consultancy.” 

Since establishing in 2010, Tadek has built a strong reputation delivering high-value engineering analysis, consultancy, and project execution. Having historically focussed on five key project delivery areas – Marine Projects, SURF and Marine Analysis, Structural Design, FOW and Floating Systems Design and Naval Architecture – Tadek has now established a sixth focus area dedicated to Advisory Services.  

“This is more of a leadership role,” added Mr Raymond. “Rather than operating as a subcontractor, we now speak directly with the end client, advising them on project decisions to ensure most robust, cost-effective and timely solutions. We have built significant experience at the coal face, over many years, to justify bidding for and leading this type of advisory work. We are particularly keen to de-risk investors and owners and make projects work, by advising across the global offshore and renewables market. We’re also keen to engage with technology developers to enable vital success in FOW, MRE and floating solar prototype deployments. This kind of work is close to our hearts having, since 2010 supported the installation of more prototype ocean devices than any offshore firm operating in the market today, assisting moorings, cable installation methods and contracting. We take great pride in working collaboratively as a trusted partner with our clients, uniting all stakeholders and project teams.” 

Tadek’s sustained financial stability and independence is built on organic growth with zero debt, and a consistent turnover of circa £2m over the past four years and a growing team of over 30 engineers.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
