Consultancy

Too often, businesses investing in enhanced biodiversity and artificial reef projects are met with lengthy, expensive reports that offer recommendations but no clear path to execution. At ARC Marine, clients come first, with action over paperwork and turning consultancy into tangible solutions that deliver measurable environmental and business benefits.

Implementing solutions in the marine environment takes time. To do it properly – often more so. At ARC, we are world leaders in implementing these solutions, and work efficiently to ensure that our units stand the test of time. Our in-house engineering and science teams are poised and ready to provide all the necessary validation for every project from day one. This means we can get you results and in line with ARC Marine’s PAS 1401 Publication to deliver efficient installation of our off-the-shelf or bespoke solutions.

    At the forefront of any solid and smoothly run project is a robust strategy. Working together, we will establish a clear plan to ensure everything is taken care of across the duration. Find out more on our strategy service page.

    Our Strategy

    Bid Support

    The offshore energy landscape is evolving. Under the Net-Zero Industry Act, the EU now mandates that offshore wind auctions must consider factors beyond price—including sustainability, environmental impact, and nature-inclusive design (NID). Developers who fail to incorporate these criteria risk losing out on critical projects.

    Nature Inclusive Design (NID)

    Nature-inclusive design is still an emerging field, with few organisations possessing the real-world experience to implement successful large-scale projects. As the market leader in turnkey NID and artificial reef solutions, your project moves efficiently from inception to execution - without wasted resources or unnecessary roadblocks.

  • Consultation

    The first phase is to talk things through and gauge your situation, and which of our products is the best solution for it. We would establish the scale of the requirements, location, application and anything else bespoke that may be required for your project.

  • Design

    We then work closely with our in-house science and engineering teams to create tailored designs based on the deployment location and project goals.

    This enables us to deliver a nature-inclusive design to reflect the local marine environment and target the growth of specific species.

  • Manufacturing

    At this stage, we ensure all our products are built as close to the deployment location as possible, using local labour and raw materials where possible.

    Further carbon reductions and cost savings occur through manufacturing “in country” and utilising a combination of our globally transportable mobile production plant and using local raw material suppliers.

  • Permits & Licensing

    We will assist with bid writing right from the tender stage & compliance through to conditions, obtaining permits and licensing for deposits onto the seabed with government bodies.

    We can even take care of stakeholder management with fisheries, government, community groups and governing boards.

  • Transport & Logistics

    Local deployment at your project location ensures that the entire process supports the local economy and follows industry-standard procedures with industry-standard hardware and vessels for added efficiency. We also have our own portfolio of deployment equipment that has been designed by our team from over 30 years of industry experience

  • Monitoring

    Pre & post-deployment, we can deploy multiple monitoring techniques such as eDNA or ROV’s to assess the effectiveness of our subsea protection and artificial reef products. This allows us to track progress, monitor the development of marine life, compared to the baseline and fine tune our solutions for optimal results.
